Sveti Stefan: Montenegro's Adriatic Jewel

#hellohalloween

Nestled on Montenegro's stunning Budva Riviera, Sveti Stefan is a postcard-perfect islet village connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway.

History: Built in the 15th century by Paštrovići tribes from pirate loot to defend against Turks, it became a Venetian protectorate in 1423. Named after St. Stephen's church, it housed 400 villagers by the 1800s. In the 1950s, Yugoslavia transformed it into an elite resort for stars like Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, and royalty.

Today: Home to Aman Sveti Stefan luxury resort (currently closed amid disputes), its terracotta roofs, stone alleys, and pink-sand beaches mesmerize from afar. Swim in turquoise Adriatic waters at public Queen's Beach or hike for epic views.

Why Visit? Montenegro's most photographed gem—timeless beauty, crystal seas, and drama. A must-see! 🌊🏰
