Discover Budva
Budva is an ancient picturesque coastal town packed with history and culture and a popular seaside destination with Montenegrins. Head to the Old Town, one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic Sea. Here you’ll find ancient palaces and churches, in addition to local boutiques, restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy traditional Montenegrin cuisine. A must-see is the Citadel, an ancient fortress which was built to protect Budva from attacks from the sea. Don’t forget to head to Budva’s pretty pebble beach during a Montenegro yacht charter. Lined with tables managed by nearby cafes, it is the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely drink while watching local life unfold.
Explore Kotor
Not far from Budva you’ll find the pretty fortified seaside town of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stari Grad, the Old Town of Kotor, dates back to Roman times. It is packed with cultural charm and is not to be missed during a Montenegro yacht charter. Explore the Old Town’s cobbled streets and ancient churches. Make sure you check out the Main Square as well as the Clock Tower. Also, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Medieval San Giovanni Fortress, which sits high above the city walls of Kotor’s Old Town. While the climb is viewed as arduous by many, it is well worth the spectacular views!
