Visit  the  small  settlement  of  Hellnar  -  a town practically sitting below the glacier at the ocean’s edge. Seabirds and cliffs dominate the area.
 
Then we’ll enjoy some time on the beach at Djúpalónssandur,  but  rather  than swimming, we’ll collect stone pebbles or naturally polished lava stones at the surf’s edge.

With our local guide we will tour the Old Town of Budva where you will be introduced to the main historical sites and learn more about the rich history of this town.
 
Old Town is the trademark of Budva. Originally built on an island, a sand isthmus developed between it and the main land and so it became a peninsula. Old Town Budva is a unique architectural and urban unit that was already mentioned as a settlement in ancient times. According to these sources, Budva is over 2,500 years old and one of the oldest urban centres around the Adriatic Sea. The walls of the Old Town were, and still are, as much of an attraction to residential homes as for tourists, who come to visit from the furthest parts of the world. They were built in the Middle Ages when this region was ruled by the Venetians.
 
As you visit the Old Town of Budva, you might think that you have entered a labyrinth, with lots of narrow streets, squares, walls and towers from the late Middle Ages. Today, the ground floors of many houses have been converted into art galleries, shops, cafes, and boutiques. Within the Old Town is the city fortress, Citadela, dating from the 5th - 6th centuries AD.
 
There are also the churches of St. Ivan (a monumental three-nave basilica, built in the 7th century AD), St. Mary's of Punta (the oldest building, dating from 840 AD) and the Holy Trinity (built in 1804).

Fly to Austria to discover one of the most beautiful cities in Europe - Vienna.
