Budva – Sveti Stefan
The Sveti Stefan bus is the easy, cheap way to reach the famous island-village from Budva — no taxi needed. Mediteran Express runs this coastal line frequently in season, roughly every 20 minutes, and the ride takes about 35 minutes for around €1.50.
Heading out of Budva it calls at Bečići, Rafailovići, Kamenovo, Pržno and Miločer before Sveti Stefan, so it’s also the bus for those beaches. Catch it in the centre of Budva or at any stop along the way, and get off at the Sveti Stefan (Hotel Adrović) stop above the causeway.
