Budva

The town of Budva from a beach outside the city

• Budva is a beautiful but overcrowded beach town, the old town in beautiful, but I really wouldn't recommend staying in the city of Budva for more than a night or two, or if you could, try and stay inside oldtown even if it is a bit more expensive.   The water is crystal clear like in Croatia, but there is an overcrowding of Serbian and Russian tourists and they like to throw food and stuff in the water so there are lots of orange peels floating around.   This may have changed in the past three years of course. 
• Sveti Stefan: a really beautiful walled city built on a tiny little island with an isthmus connecting it to the land.   This is only about a 10 minute bus ride from Budva and you should go. 

• The coast north of Budva has amazing fiord-like sides (they actually are fiords, the farthest south in Europe).  Kotor is the town that is easiest to stay at around there, and there is a very cool monastery on an island in the middle of the inlet that its on which you can take a boat to.
