Budva 
Kotor
The plan
Perast
A short stop in the little town on the water.
Kotor
Inside Kotor's walls: narrow lanes, a square for coffee and time to wander.
Budva
An old town on a small peninsula, with narrow lanes and beaches either side.
Sveti Stefan
A viewpoint above the island village joined to the shore by a narrow strip of sand. The island is a private hotel, so the view is from the road.
Good to know
One of our longest days, and it fits inside our 10:00 to 23:00 hours. Passport or ID card needed. The border queue in summer is the hardest part to predict.
