Detailed itinerary
1
A short stop at a scenic viewpoint overlooking Sveti Stefan, a small fortified island dating back to the 15th century, once a traditional fishing village and today one of the most recognizable symbols of Montenegro. Its stone houses with red-tiled roofs, connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, rise dramatically above the Adriatic Sea, creating one of the country’s most iconic coastal views.

Stop 2
A guided walk through Budva’s Old Town, one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast. Surrounded by medieval walls, the historic center features narrow stone streets, small squares, ancient churches, and a lively coastal atmosphere shaped by centuries of Venetian and Mediterranean influence.
3
Nestled beneath Mount Rumija, Stari Bar or Old Town Bar is a silent stone city where time seems to have stopped. Crumbling walls, ancient gates, and overgrown paths tell the story of centuries shaped by empires, earthquakes, and changing civilizations, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere rich in history and character.
4
The Aqueduct of Bar is a remarkable Ottoman-era structure from the 17th century, built to supply water to the old town of Bar. With its elegant stone arches stretching across the valley, it stands as the only preserved aqueduct in Montenegro, reflecting the engineering skill and importance of water in the region’s past.
