For storytellers

Why Sveti Stefan matters

Few views on the Adriatic are as iconic. A tiny island of red-roofed stone houses sits on the sea, joined to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand. It is a luxury resort now, so access to the island itself is limited. The best views are from the road above and from the nearby beach. Come early or at sunset.

Talking points

  • A narrow causeway links the island to the shore.
  • The island is now a resort with limited public access.
  • Viewpoints on the road above give the classic photo.
