The Best Day Trips
Bečići is a fine base for the Budva Riviera and the Bay of Kotor — here are the day trips worth building into your stay, with how far each one is and how to get there.
The Riviera's historic heart
Budva Old Town
Budva's walled medieval old town sits barely three kilometres up the coast — a maze of marble lanes, churches and a seaward citadel. It is an easy walk along the seaside promenade, or a short bus, taxi or summer boat ride.
The iconic islet
Sveti Stefan
The fortified islet of Sveti Stefan, joined to the shore by a causeway, is Montenegro's most photographed view — about five kilometres south of Bečići. The classic vista is from the coast road and the beaches just above it.
UNESCO bay & walled city
Kotor & the Bay of Kotor
The UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor is a fjord-like inlet ringed by mountains, roughly 30–40 minutes up the coast. Explore the walled city of Kotor and the baroque town of Perast, with boat trips out to the islands of Our Lady of the Rocks and St George.
Mountains, lake & monastery
Lovćen, Skadar Lake & Ostrog
Inland from the coast, Lovćen National Park and the Njegoš Mausoleum crown the mountains above Kotor, Skadar Lake National Park spreads across the largest lake in the Balkans, and Ostrog Monastery clings to a sheer cliff face. Each makes a full-day trip, on a guided tour or by car.

Budva Old Town is the easiest — a walled medieval town barely three kilometres away. Sveti Stefan, the fortified islet, is a short hop south, and the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor, with the walled city of Kotor and baroque Perast, is about 30–40 minutes up the coast. Inland, Lovćen, Skadar Lake and Ostrog Monastery make longer full-day trips.
Can you visit the Bay of Kotor from Bečići in a day?
Yes. Kotor and the Bay of Kotor are roughly 30–40 minutes from Bečići by road along the Adriatic coast, easily done as a half or full day by car, bus, taxi or organised tour, often combined with the baroque town of Perast.
How do I get to Sveti Stefan?
Sveti Stefan sits about five kilometres south of Bečići along the coast road. It is a short drive, taxi or bus ride, and the classic view of the islet is from the coast road and the beaches just above it.
Can you visit Budva from Bečići?
Easily. Budva's walled old town is only about three kilometres away — reachable on foot along the seaside promenade, by local bus, taxi, or summer boat.
Which day trips need a full day?
The Bay of Kotor with Perast, and the inland trips to Lovćen National Park, Skadar Lake and Ostrog Monastery, are best given a full day. Budva and Sveti Stefan can each be done in a half day.
