Бюджетная вилла с удачным размещением но без изысков Budget villa with good location but no frills

We were traveling on a last minute trip, we were in Montenegro for the first time, I’ll say right away that we were unlucky with the weather, it’s cold, it rains, the locals themselves don’t remember such weather in mid-June for a long time... About the villa - immediately upon arriving in Becici we were sorted into two villas, they say in They mixed up something in Kyiv and sold more vouchers than places in the villa (!? ). We got Zelka, the rest - SANYA, both 2 stars each, no identification marks, just an inscription in Serbian "Rooms **", which is not at all an apartment, as we were advertised. For the money we paid, we honestly expected the worst, so what we saw pleased us a little that it was not a barn, but a decent-looking three-story white villa with balconies. We lived on the 1st floor near the owners + 1 more room. Everything is modest, wooden beds with mattresses not yet sagging, sheets, colored towels, a very small shared shower (tray) and a toilet with a meager washbasin (we are thin with my wife, but if a person is bigger, it can get stuck))). The room is designed for 3 at once, so a separate bed was used as shelves for clothes (they asked the hostess for an iron and immediately ironed all things). There is a hair dryer, a TV with 1 Russian channel, a wardrobe, a mini-fridge, there is a kitchenette, but it is separate and designed for three rooms, there is all the utensils, and each room has its own set of plates, cutlery, pots, pans. We practically used only appliances and plates, and the neighbors cooked on an electric stove, so you can save money and cook yourself. We did not see a variety of pastries, as in Bulgaria, bureks are sold (puff pastry with cottage cheese or meat for 1.5 euros, a pizza piece 1.5 euros). In the megamarket you can buy semi-finished meat products and if you have a check nearby, they will cook meat for free on the grill (they fried splashes, these are flat cutlets from minced meat - for an amateur, because when cooled, a coating of fat remains... , shish kebab (delicious) and meat sticks. Bread they crumble, I don’t like it, there is milk, but I also liked it sourly, delicious cheeses from 5 euros per kg Prosciutto is awesome meat, but the market is expensive - 17-19 euros / kg, If you don’t take an excursion to Negushi, where you can for 9-10 euros / kg to buy, which we did, then straight to Budva to the Zelena Piatsa market, there for 12 euros / kg I recommend it, it is much cooler than jamon, because pork ham is cured and smoked for a year, and then without refrigerator is stored for another 2 years, though entirely with skin and lard, they are brought home already rifled and in a vacuum - they will do it for free on the market.
In general, Montenegro is an amazing country, not cheap, especially with the depreciation of the hryvnia, but for the sake of nature and amazing traditions it is worth visiting! Rest can be both economical and super expensive - everything is up to your taste and budget. An Orthodox country with a turbulent historical past and a proud small people is something! Many shrines, monasteries, canyons, caves, bays, old towns. . . Were in the old Bar, people do not live there, after the destruction of the city in 1812 (battle with the Turks) and 1979 (earthquake) years, this is a city-ruin under the open sky, where there is a functioning water reservoir and the church of St. Ivan - I advise, and then by taxi 5 euros will go down to the city center and spend an unforgettable shopping - across the sea Italy and the goods are appropriate. There are brands - but very expensive, and unknown brands, but at ridiculous prices. Whoever has small sizes is a paradise, because Montenegrin women are large, so slow sizes are sold with big discounts + the sales season of 50-70% has begun.
