The Montenegrin Interior
A visit to Montenegro's scruffy but historic former cap-
ital, Cetinje, comes with a twisty drive up a mountain road and across a desolate,
forgotten-feeling plateau. Allow a full day or more (best reached by car).
Budva Riviera
Montenegro's best stretch of sandy beaches isn't worth a special trip,
but it's a fun excuse for a drive if you've got extra time to kill. The highlight is the
famous resort peninsula of Sveti Stefan. Allow a full day or more (best reached by
car).

Cavtat
A charming resort/beach town, unassuming Cavtat holds a pair of wonder-
ful and very local art experiences: an elaborate mausoleum designed by the sculptor
Ivan Meštrovi
ć
, and the house and museum of Cavtat-born modern painter Vlaho
Bukovac. Allow a few hours (best reached by boat or bus).
▲
Pelješac Peninsula
This long, narrow, scenic spit of land—between the main
coastal road and Kor
č
ula Island—is a favorite of wine lovers, who can joyride
through its vineyards and sample its product. Allow a half-day to a full day (best
reached by car).
