Sveti Stefan is the crown jewel of the Montenegro coastline which you will surely recognize from any holiday advertisement or brochure for Montenegro !

The town itself is a hotel, and is situated on an island connected to the mainland by a narrow strip that has two sandy beaches either side.

Originally a fishing village, and built by traders and fishermen in the 15th century, it was turned into one of the most extraordinary hotels in the 1960's.  The architects managed to keep the original character.

Many famous persons have visited Sveti Stefan, namely Sofia Loren, Sylvester Stalone, Claudia Schaeffer…   You can visit the hotel for €3.00 and it has an elegant bar and restaurant with fantastic views.

If you are not lucky enough to stay in this hotel, Sveti Stefan it is definitely a very worthwhile day trip !  In Milocer, one bay west of Sveti Stefan, stands the former summer house of the royal family Karadordevic.   The palace is now a hotel.  Another couple of bays over towards Budva - still within walking distance - lies Przno.  The fishing village has kept most of its original charm.
