Savina is the eastern, greener side of Herceg Novi, a hillside of stone houses, gardens and steps that drop to the water rather than a built-up seafront. The beach lies at the bottom of a short flight of stairs, a habit you pick up quickly, since stairs are how this town connects its levels. A few minutes away stands Savina Monastery, three churches set among old cypresses and olive trees, still the quietest corner of the municipality and a good place to understand how the Orthodox community here weathered Venetian, Ottoman and Austrian rule in turn.
The quarter faces the mouth of the bay, so the view is of open water and of ships turning in toward Kotor, with the Prevlaka headland closing the horizon to the west. The town centre is five to ten minutes away along the coast road or the Pet Danica promenade, which puts the market, the bakeries and the old town cafés within easy reach without putting their noise on your balcony. In the other direction the promenade leads to Meljine and Zelenika, past small pebble coves that stay uncrowded well into August. Buses along the coast road make Kotor and Budva straightforward day trips for anyone who would rather not drive the bay.
