Itinerary
-
Tirana to Budva and Kotor
- Our tour leader will pick you up at your hotel in Tirana. Be prepared for a long but fantastic day!
- Our first destination for today is Budva in Montenegro.
- Before getting there, we will stop near Sveti Stefan, which is historically a fishing town on a small island near the coast.
- However, it is not possible to visit the island anymore as it has become an exclusive residential resort.
- Even while standing on the coast, Sveti Stefan is a sight for sore eyes – worth a picture.
- 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 a new part.
- New Budva has many modern buildings, offices, shopping malls, restaurants, and bars.
- On the other hand, in Old Budva, there is a historical center 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 on this tour.
- Our second destination for today 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 characterises the city.
- Many old buildings and churches have small plaques with their construction dates and original use.
- We will visit Saint Luke’s Church, which is very significant to the locals because it represents unity.
- We will be back in Tirana late in the evening (depending on the traffic and border passing).
