Montenegro

Things to do in Sveti Stefan

A fortified fishing island turned into a single hotel, joined to the shore by a narrow causeway and photographed more than anywhere else in the country. The village dates to the fifteenth century and was converted wholesale into a resort from the 1950s, which is why the roofs and lanes survive intact. Access to the island itself depends on whether the hotel is operating, so check before travelling. The mainland side has its own beaches, hotels and restaurants, and Budva is about 15 minutes north.

Meridian Dispatch for iPhone

A travel journal that
writes itself.

Your best memories, journaled automatically, from the photos already on your phone. The app reads your photo library, finds the international trips you have taken, identifies the venues, writes the prose, and lays it out like a magazine spread. The first time you open it, the last several years of your travel are already there. Every trip after that goes in by itself.

  1. Mapped on a globe

    Your whole world, on one globe.

    Every country you've visited, lit on a private 3D globe. Spin it to find a trip and fall straight back into it. The globe is the table of contents for your journal.

    The app's private globe of visited countries.
  2. Detected automatically

    It finds your trips on its own.

    Your photos cluster by place and time, and each cluster becomes a venue: the museum you spent the morning in, the restaurant you lingered over, the streets you wandered after dinner. No tagging, no prompts, no logbook to keep up.

    The app's archive, every trip a dispatch.
  3. In warm prose

    Each place, written up.

    Every day opens on a hero photograph, and each place you stopped gets its own short entry beside your own photographs, no two days laid out the same. A record of where you've been, kept in real sentences. Edit a line, or regenerate any passage you want fresh.

  4. Yours to keep

    Every trip, as a photobook.

    Download any journal as a clean photobook, send it to whoever was there, or have it printed as a hardback you keep on the shelf. What you read on your phone is exactly what lands on the page.
