We would like to independently see the coast of the Buda Riviera and the Bay of Kotor, as well as Dubrovnik. Please advise, is it possible to do without a car and use public transport? Is it possible to visit Dubrovnik on my own (are there any questions about crossing the border / do regular buses run from Budva or is it better to rent a car)? Thanks in advance for advice. You may also be able to orient on the cost of excursions in these areas.

buses run from the bus station along the entire coast, and to Dubrovnik too, though I don’t know how things are with a visa

Good afternoon.
You can explore the Budva Riviera yourself, because. comfortable buses run from the city of Budva. In my review of the trip, I described in detail all the excursions that interest you: http://blogs.turpravda.ua/Bastardariys/69638.html
For the cost, I can immediately write:
- from Budva to Kotor by bus per person 3 euros.
- from Budva to Sveti Stefan per person 1.5 euros.
- from Budva to Dubrovnik 13.50 euros per person, from Dubrovnik to Budva a little more expensive - within 2-4 euros (why, I don’t know myself).
- from Budva to Bar per person 6 euros.
- from Budva to Milocer or Ploce beach per person 2 euros.
- from Budva to Jaz beach per person 1.5 euros.

+ if you know how to bargain, then you can ride a taxi for the same prices. Taxi drivers immediately say prices are higher, but after that they may well agree on the bus price.

Bastardariys, wonderful, thanks for such detailed answers! Looking at the map I understand that the distances are not great at all. therefore, from a financial point of view, it is more profitable to travel by public transport (which is quite acceptable based on the prices you indicated). For advice with taxi drivers - special thanks :)

The distances are small, but the speeds are small - everywhere there are mountains, you can hardly overtake anywhere. There are few places where you can drive more than 60. Especially when it comes to the coast. Dubrovnik is without visas, but in a public bus CAN (which is unlikely to ask for the so-called "white cardboard", if you are on a tour, then no one will stutter for sure). They ask him EXTREMELY rarely, but if you have normal owners who pay taxes (ha ha), then no problem. If you pay a city tax, then you must do it. If not, don't worry too much.
It is normal to use public transport along the coast, but inland it is so-so. Dubrovnik, if I were you, I would take a tour - they are for a day, so for 50 euros. And if Zabljak or canyons, then I wouldn’t go without an overnight stay. It is very beautiful and cool in Zabljak - in the middle of the trip, relaxing in the mountains with birch trees and mountain rivers is the very thing. There is also rafting, not extreme. Piva Canyon - highly recommend! Buses run exactly from Niksic. You can get there from the bay, but I don’t know exactly how)

They also go from Podgorica to Zabljak for sure. Excursions cost no more than 50 euros - the most expensive Dubrovnik. You don't need any excursions along the coast for sure. Travel yourself. I don’t really recommend Skadar Lake, as the landscapes are very Russian! Although the fish are big there ;-)
In the bay, visit the islands with monasteries (I don’t remember the names). Do it yourself - from Perast, literally 200m from the highway - a pier with boats, where for 5 euros in both directions they are thrown onto the island. Time is given at least 30-40 minutes. "Your" boatman runs back there all day, so he can take you back in any of his walkers. It will not arrive earlier than in 30-40 minutes. We swam until 7 pm. Canyons Moraca (you will see so if you go along the road from Podgorica towards Zabljak, since the road was built in the canyon itself) and Tara (bridge and views) are so-so. Long drive, little to see. Zabljak is 20 km from this bridge. Not everyone carries excursions, if they do, then 1 day is all tiring and you won’t really see anything. If you spend the night in Zabljak, you will have time to see everything yourself. In Zabljak there are several tourist information booths - housing will quickly ring out there and you will settle. They settle normally for a day, but in general there are a lot of people!

We scored the Ostrog Monastery, but only because it is already the fifth similar rock monastery, and we drove a lot of serpentines in our life, but in general it is beautiful. From the pictures)))
Cetinje is not worth it, Lovcen is so-so. Kotor (bay) is good, you can do it yourself, including by water. Herceg Novi is not worth it on purpose, but if you get off the bus on the return line from Dubrovnik, then it’s fine. You can even spend the night once))) Well, without moving out of the main housing, find in G. Novi some kind of shack for the night without things. We've done this a few times and it's very convenient. You lose 10 euros per person, the same as for any transfers (car, bus, gasoline), but you save time!

Thanks a lot, very good advice.
To be honest, we are not going to the mountains/reserves yet. Still want a comfortable holiday on the coast :)

Sorry, I noticed my mistake - Especially if it is NOT about the coast.

I join the above. Indeed, everywhere you can ride public transport (buses), they cost a penny! Or by taxi, it costs a little more than 1 euro per 1 kilometer. We drove from Ulcinj to the city of Bar for 20 euros (for the whole car!).
Borders are crossed freely, without any problems, visas are not required in the summer!
Excursions in bulk in all directions, they cost from about 30 euros per person.
