If you are looking for the picture perfect postcard of Montenegro, you must go to Sveti Stefan. Sveti Stefan for me was one of the reasons I wanted to visit Montenegro and I was happy that we made it to this beautiful spot. Don’t be fooled by the little houses on the island, it actually is a resort style hotel, which you are not allowed to enter if you don’t stay there. You could still go for a swim though, and that is exactly what we did!

Bled is incredibly touristy, but also cannot be missed on your Slovenia itinerary. I was charmed by Lake Bled, much more than I expected. The surroundings of Lake Bled are incredibly beautiful and the best way to experience it is by doing a hike to the famous viewpoint. We enjoyed our time during summer at Lake Bled and I am sure it is even more lovely in autumn, when the leaves are turning and the crowds are gone.

If you would like to spend a beautiful day in nature near the clearest water I would recommend to visit Zelenci Nature Reserve & Jasna Lake in Slovenia. They are located closely to each other, so you can easily enjoy both in one day and see two of Slovenia’s highlights. In this blogpost I will give you all the background details that you need to make the most out of your day.
