Detailed itinerary

Budva Old Town (Stari Grad) is one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast, surrounded by medieval stone walls and filled with narrow cobblestone streets, historic churches, and charming squares. With its blend of ancient history, Venetian architecture, and lively coastal atmosphere, Budva Old Town offers a perfect mix of culture, heritage, and seaside charm.

Sveti Stefan Viewpoint offers one of Montenegro’s most iconic photo opportunities, overlooking the famous 15th-century islet connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway. From this panoramic spot, visitors can admire the striking contrast of terracotta rooftops, turquoise Adriatic waters, and dramatic coastal scenery — a true highlight of the Montenegrin coast.

Skadar Lake is the largest lake in the Balkans and a protected national park known for its unspoiled nature, rich birdlife, and peaceful scenery. Surrounded by mountains, wetlands, and traditional fishing villages, the lake offers beautiful panoramic views and a glimpse into Montenegro’s natural heritage and rural life.
Guests may also choose to enjoy an optional one-hour boat cruise on Skadar Lake, gliding through scenic waterways, water lilies, and bird habitats for a relaxing and immersive nature experience.

Stari Bar (Old Bar) is a fascinating historical site located at the foot of Mount Rumija, featuring the atmospheric ruins of an ancient fortified town abandoned centuries ago. Surrounded by olive groves and stone walls, it offers a unique glimpse into Montenegro’s layered history, blending Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman influences.
