Budva & Sveti Stefan

OVERVIEW

Admire the coastal beauty while traveling to Budva, one of the oldest cities on the Adriatic Sea, near which you will find the exclusive town of Sveti Stefan. While meandering through Budva’s medieval Old Town – known as Stari Grad – you can’t help but be struck by the gorgeous setting. English poet Lord Bryon described it as “the most beautiful meeting of land and sea.” As you will discover while meandering its labyrinthine streets, Budva is still remarkable, especially its idyllic location overlooking an island-dotted bay. You can expect to see historical churches, 15th-century ramparts and charming squares lined with boutiques. A bit farther down the coast, you will come upon Sveti Stefan, another gorgeous town of red-roofed buildings. It once attracted the likes of celebrities such as Orson Welles, Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren, and as you will discover while pausing for photos it too is a star.
