Duljevo monastery
Duljevo Monastery
Located 450 meters above sea level on the slopes of the Paštrovići hills, this 14th-century Serbian Orthodox monastery features a church dedicated to Saint Stephen. Visitors go here to see the historical frescoes, including a portrait of Emperor Dušan holding a model of the church, and to view the surrounding coastline from the elevated position.
Getting There
The monastery is located in the hills above Budva. Access from the city centre is typically by car or taxi via the winding roads of the Paštrovići region. The drive takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and road conditions.
Visit Duration
Allow roughly 1 to 2 hours to explore the church interior, view the frescoes, and walk around the monastery grounds.
When to Visit
The site is generally quiet compared to the Budva city centre. Visiting during the morning or late afternoon avoids the midday heat, particularly during the summer months. Spring and autumn offer milder temperatures for the ascent into the hills.
