Sveti Stefan combines the compact form of a fortified island with the open horizon of the Adriatic Sea in a way that reflects its coastal and historical position on Montenegro’s Budva Riviera. Joined to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, the 15th-century settlement was founded by the Paštrovići community and later became one of Montenegro’s most recognisable coastal landmarks. Its clustered stone houses, defensive walls and red-tiled roofs retain the outline of the former village, while the surrounding shore forms part of a coastline of small coves and beaches. Nearby Budva provides a livelier contrast, with an old walled centre on the same stretch of coast.
