Kotor, Budva and Sveti Stefan in one day
This is the longer Montenegro day. The morning belongs to the Bay of Kotor, the afternoon to the open coast, where Budva has its own small walled town by the beach.
On the way back, if traffic and time allow, there is a stop above Sveti Stefan, the island village joined to the shore by a narrow strip of sand.
