Black Sabah Magazine: "Mountains behind, sea underfoot"

"There is a saying I always use about the cities I visit, "If I said that I love every city I visit, I would be doing an injustice to the cities that I really feel at home." Budva is one of these cities.

Budva is a small city in Montenegro, a small country influenced by the Venetians and got its name by combining their words – Monte (Mountain) and Negro (Land). Budva, about an hour from the capital Podgorica, offers different experiences to its visitors with its old and new cities. Since Budva has been under the patronage of the Venetians throughout history, you can come across Italian influences and medieval architecture. The Old Town, called Stari Grad, is also on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.

Budva has recently become one of the popular cities in the Balkans in terms of summer tourism. This small city, which has a long coast to the Adriatic Sea, is very rich in terms of swimming areas and beaches. There are numerous places where you can swim in Budva, including the center.

Although the dark mountains, from which the nation takes its name, stand tall all around the city, the sun rising from between those dark mountains transforms the clear waters of the Adriatic into a sparkling turquoise aquarium.

You can sail to the cool waters of the Adriatic with boat tours or spend your time on wonderful beaches. I'm thinking I'll be writing about those boat tours and Kotor – another Adriatic pearl – in my next travel piece".

In the following text, places such as Sveti Nikola Island, Sveti Stefan, then Mogren and Lucice beaches are described in detail, you can read more in the Black Sabah Magazine link
