Our tour leader will pick you up from your hotel in Tirana on the morning of departure. Be prepared for a long but amazing day trip!
Our first destination for the day is Budva, Montenegro, but before getting there we will make a stop near Sveti Stefan, historically a fishing town on a small island near the coast. Nowadays it is not possible to visit the island as it is an exclusive residential resort though even while standing on the coast, Sveti Stefan is a stunning sight for photo opportunities!
We will drive towards Budva, a popular tourist destination famous for its beaches, gorgeous nature and old characteristic buildings. The city is separated between an old and new part - on the one hand, in the New Budva, there are many modern buildings, offices, shopping malls, restaurants and bars. On the other hand, in the Old Budva, there is the historical centre and many sights to visit such as the St. Ivan church, the small church of St. Mary and the medieval splendours of the old town, which we will visit.
Our second destination for the day is Kotor, a UNESCO world heritage site. The city is a maze of narrow, cobblestone streets crisscrossing the old town. The intention was to confuse intruders who came to plunder the town, while nowadays it characterizes the city. Many of the old buildings and churches have small plaques on it with their dates of construction and original use. We will visit the Saint Luke’s church which has a great significance for the locals because it represents unity to them.
After some free time to explore and a chance to buy some lunch, we will return to Tirana in the late evening (time dependent on traffic and border crossing).
