Where it is and where taxis can stop
The village of Sveti Stefan sits on a steep slope between the Adriatic Highway and the sea; the island is joined to the shore by a causeway, and entry is for guests of the Aman hotel only (in some seasons the hotel is closed and so is the island). Taxis drop you at the viewpoint on the highway (the best view of the island), at the beach path by Hotel Adrović, or in Pržno by the beach.
Villas and apartments on the slope: roads are narrow and steep, some end in stairs. Ask the host for a pickup point — drivers suggest meeting on the highway.
From Budva and Bečići
From Budva 10 km along the highway through Bečići and Rafailovići — 20–25 minutes, €15–20 per car (meter in town, agreed price beyond). From Bečići 6 km, €10–15. The bus from Budva bus station runs every 30–60 minutes, €2–2.50, stopping above the village; 10 minutes on foot down to the beach.
Back in the evening: the village has no permanent rank; cars come on call from Budva in 10–15 minutes. A request through the app for a set time is the most reliable option after dinner in Pržno.
