After a free coffee break in the small Cetinje square, we continue our journey. Next, we visit Virpazar, a charming town where we will see Skadar Lake. During a one-hour free time in Virpazar, you can take a wonderful boat ride among water lilies on Skadar Lake using small boats. Being able to see pelicans here is a special privilege, as this lake, the largest in the Balkans, hosts around 250 different bird species. (Guests wishing to take a boat tour will pay an additional €15 per person for the National Park entrance fee and boat rental.) Our next stop is Bar, a historic and tourist city on the Adriatic coast.

We will visit the small and charming market square and have a free lunch at a local restaurant. The day concludes with Sveti Stefan, offering an extraordinary view. We will stop for photos at a vantage point where you can see Sveti Stefan panoramically from above. Once a fishing village protected by walls in the 15th century and a fishing town until the 1950s, Sveti Stefan Island became a favorite destination for celebrities such as Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Today, after being expropriated from fishermen and sold to a Singaporean hotel chain, it has been restored and transformed into a major tourist attraction.
