Budva

) for the night.
If you're travelling by bus, head straight to Budva and save Cetinje for another day.
For the following two days base yourself anywhere on the 20km stretch of coast
between Budva and Petrovac. The advantages of Budva include its old walled town and
its nightlife, and it's the easiest place to arrange day tours to Ostrog Monastery and Lake
Skadar, or a Tara River rafting trip.
Petrovac
(

) is more family-friendly, with a
more relaxed vibe and great beaches nearby. Close neighbours
Pržno
(

) and
Sveti Stefan
(

) have excellent accommodation at every price level, great res-
taurants, and striking coastal views.
No matter where you put down roots, make sure you take the walk through the woods
from Sveti Stefan to Pržno. A car or bike will get you to hidden bays such as Drobni Pije-
sak and Rijeka Reževići, and there are several monasteries to explore, including Pod-
maine and Podostrog, near Budva, and Reževići and Gradište, near Petrovac.
Continuing southeast along the coast, visit the ruins of
Stari Bar
(

) on your
way to
Ulcinj
(

). The atmosphere of this largely Albanian town is quite dif-
ferent from anywhere else in Montenegro and there's a palpable buzz on the streets at
night. It too has an interesting Old Town and the succession of rocky coves heading east
from the crowded town beach are great for snorkelling. Nearby is the 12km continuous
stretch of sand known as
Velika Plaža
(Big Beach;

) and just across the Bo-
jana River there's a further 3km of beach on the nudist island
Ada Bojana
