Sveti Stefan is an exclusive hotel town situated on the rocky peninsula which is linked by a sand strip to the shore.
Just like some grounded stone boat, Sveti Stefan ?anchored? in the middle part of Budvanska Riviera. A former fisherman village, mentioned in documents for the first time in 1442, since 1960 represents a world famous town-hotel with comfortable villas and luxurious apartments.
At this, for many people the most attractive spot of all the Adriatic coast, we come across a very rare natural phenomenon - the tombola. It is a sandy isthmus that connects the coast with the crag, on which St. Stefan, the exclusive town-hotel is built. There are two sandy beaches on the left and on the right side of the tombola. The sand is reddish and the beaches are 1170m long. In the background there are restaurants, cafes, a hotel, a diving club, a parking lot. All this is situated in a park that is arranged in a Mediterranean style. St. Stefan is the only de lux location at the Montenegrin seaside, and its exclusiveness has been famous in the world for a long time. The most popular people come here gladly to spend their vacations. Some of the guests were Villie Brant, Boby Fisher, Sofia Loren, Monica Viti, Ingemar Stenmark, Silvester Stalone, Claudia Shiffer...Among the recognitions that St. Stefan was awarded, is the prize Golden Apple (1964) from Life magazine.
This beautiful natural pearl was the most famouse part of Adriatic coast before the political troubles, involved with the breakup of Yugoslavia.
This photo was taken from the bus..a long time ago - back in the 1980 - while I was turist guide in that part of Adriatic coast. It is scaned from original BW photo from that year and has historical value? and I know that the quality is not good, but the feelings about this photo means a lot to me....lovely memories about youth..:))
Nice captured Stefan with quite some drama in the clouds! Great work! Andrej
Vidim da sva precej na istem... nic kaj casa za nove uploade in komentarje; V glavnem kar se tice 'mystified'... je bilo kar precej zgodaj zjutraj ko je sonce ravno pogledalo izza hriba... mi smo ravno presli meglo, ki je iz doline segala kar precej visoko in so se oblaki (pravzaprav megla) podili preko nasih glav, ne zelo gosti in ne preredki, tako da so postali vidni sele ko jih je oplazilo sonce... Ogromno svetloje je bilo zaradi veliko snega okoli nas in se je kar blescalo, zato je tudi gozd s te strani kar zadovoljivo osvetljen... Bila bi se opcija uporabiti flash, vendar ob uporabi polnega zooma in oddalenosti vec kot 5m ne bi naredil zeljenega efekta... zato sem sliko 'preosvetljil' in prisel do podobnega rezultata... (vsaj upam).
Hi Orchid! Splendid description; You are a great guide taking me to this scene; It seems to come alive. The dated look on the photo, with dust, and discolouration and all is exquisite! Thanks for sharing it with us, it shows once again that the technical quality of a photo is in many cases very much subordinate to the emotional value. With that, I'm definately NOT implying that this is an inferiour photo, on the contrary! The composition is very beautiful, and it shows the viewpoint of someone very familiar with the area.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it / them alot! Take care my friend!
