The aftereffects of Montenegro are too intense!! After coming back, all other seas seem dull

📍Sveti Stefan Island — The Pink Pearl of the Adriatic Sea

From Faru Beach, the red-roofed white-walled buildings are set against the Tiffany blue sea. At sunset, the entire island is bathed in a pink-golden hue, and drone shots are breathtaking! The island’s restaurant "Conte Hotel & Restaurant" window seats must be booked in advance; the seafood platter paired with local white wine is amazing🍷.

🚤 Blue Cave Boat Tour: Dive into the glass sea and be a mermaid for a day

Take a speedboat from Kotor, crossing the fjord for 3 hours, passing a WWII submarine base and Our Lady of the Rocks island. The Blue Cave’s water is crystal clear, perfect for jumping off the boat to snorkel, surrounded by colorful fish underwater, instantly feeling like a 007 protagonist!

🏰 Kotor Old Town: The magical mountain city guarded by cats

Get up early to climb the 1,350-step ancient city walls for free and overlook the panoramic view of the fjord and red rooftops! After descending, pet the stray cats everywhere, visit the "Gallery of Solidarity," and buy original cat T-shirts (€15, super cute).
