After breakfast, as an optional half-day boat tour of the Budva Coast, Petrovac and Sveti Stefan (75 Euros), we will board our private boat from the Budva coast and begin our tour. We will first take swimming breaks at Sveti Nikola (Hawai) Island and then at Sveti Stefan Island. Continuing by boat, we will arrive at the charming town of Petrovac. We will spend approximately 2 hours on the private boat. Petrovac, a small tourist town on the Adriatic coast, is also one of Montenegro’s oldest coastal towns. We will enjoy the sea and sun on the beaches of Petrovac. After a free lunch, we will depart from Petrovac and return by land in a private vehicle. On the way back, we will see Sveti Stefan from the land this time, with its spectacular scenery. Sveti Stefan, which was once a settlement for fishermen many years ago, was brought into tourism through restoration works following the expropriation of the island and its subsequent sale to a Singaporean hotel chain. In the 15th century, it was a village protected by walls. Sveti Stefan Island, which was a fishing town until the 1950s, was also visited for a time by celebrities such as Sofia Loren, Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. We will take a photo break at a location offering a panoramic view of Sveti Stefan and return to Budva.
