About the hotel. We rested in Budva from 4 to 18 September 2010. We lived in Villa Bojana. I can say that all the reviews that I read about this hotel are all true. Radovan is really a very friendly and hospitable host. The girls in the restaurant are cheerful and helpful. The chef cooks very well. Have dined there several times - everything is just fine. It was possible to order dinners in advance for 6 euros / person and for these 6 euros we would have got a salad, soup, hot and, in my opinion, dessert. So for those who want to save money on restaurants, this is a great option.
About the sea. Before the trip, I read a lot of reviews about the dirty sea. So, as for the sea in the Budva area during our vacation: the sea was excellent. Maybe they managed to build and launch treatment facilities in Budva. The garbage was either of natural origin: algae, needles, leaves, or far enough from the shore, packages were seen a couple of times. bottles. And so far, as if they were thrown from the yachts. Life in the sea depends on the place. On Mogren we saw hedgehogs, schools of fish, octopuses. Near the coast of Sveti Nikola, there are mainly hedgehogs (and dangerously close to the coast) and fish. No one on Yaz.
About the beaches. Most of the time we sunbathed on Mogren-2. The beach is coarse sand or very fine pebble. It is very clean there, a little quieter than on Mogren-1. But the sun loungers there belong to some kind of hotel, and from outsiders this very beach-boy ripped off 25 euros per set: 2 sunbeds + umbrella. He did, apparently, illegally, because he did not give any receipt, as on other beaches. The first day we paid (and not only we, but also a lot of people), and then we went with our beds. Cafes only on Mogren-1. Were in Yaz. The beach is sandy and the bottom too, and therefore the water is not interesting. There is also a strong wind blowing on Yaz. Due to the fact that a fairly open bay. Several good cafes. There is a pebbly beach on Sveti Nikola. The cost of a set of 2 beds + umbrella = 5 euros. And if you rent a catamaran, then circle the island counterclockwise and find a couple of places that can only be accessed from the sea and sunbathe and swim in solitude. Sveti Nikola has a full-fledged restaurant with huge portions. So you won't die of hunger. You can get to this island on a multi-seat vessel. It departs from the pier, which can be reached if you go to the beach directly from the main post office. Round trip ticket 5 euros.
About food. It is not worth talking about Montenegrin cuisine. She must be tried. Montenegro is a real feast of taste and belly. Portions of meat dishes are simply huge. The average woman can't handle it. In addition, they are by default served with a mountain of garnish. Personally, I preferred to take fish - it is fresh and incredibly tasty there. Served by weight. In some restaurants, you can take the fillet, having discussed the weight in advance, but in the majority they serve whole. But believe me: if you take a whole dorado fish, you will eat it completely, there is not much of such deliciousness. Stuffed squids are amazing.
Favorite restaurant is Porto. The waiters speak several languages: English, German, Russian and, I suspect, Italian. After you make an order, the waiter from the establishment will bring a fish pate for free. Spread it on bread for a delicious snack. When I first ordered a palachinka with fruit in Porto, I hoped that this one would be less dangerous for the figure than with jam. In fact, pancake bags are filled with ground walnuts, and you can see everything else in the photo.
Lunch or dinner for two, if you take a glass of wine, 25-30 euros with a tip. Although it can be cheaper.
About the city. If suddenly the sky is overcast and it’s already uncomfortable to lie on the beach, and you don’t want to go anywhere, go to the Old Town. First, admire the large and beautiful yachts laid up right next to the walls of the old city. Walk through the narrow streets, enter the citadel, and rest in its library. You can not only sit in the library. You can read quietly. There is a small flea market in the Old Town. There you can buy some details of the national costume (like me) or quite unusual household items.
In general, Budva is quite a bustling city. On weekends, Serbs, Macedonians, Montenegrins from the northern part of the country come there to relax and swim. Therefore, if you need peace, choose a quieter place: Becici or Petrovac.
About excursions. Since we did not go through a travel agency, but as a savage, and in our hotel there is no separate travel agency, as they are in large hotels, there was a choice to buy excursions on the street or go on our own. We went to the old town in Kotor on our own. And they did it right. No one is pushing you, if you wanted to, you lingered in a cafe or at the very top of the fortress wall. But if you want to listen to the history of the city and buildings, take a tour at the agency. We also decided to go to Ostrog on our own. And as a result, they turned the cheapest excursion into a slightly more expensive adventure. Because first, for 7 euros / person, you need to get to the “bogetici” stop by bus. , Which goes to Niksic. And from the stop to the monastery, another 12 km uphill, which we eventually overcame by taxi. For 18 euros round trip. In general, the "prison" is the excursion that is worth taking at the agency. We also went to the canyons. A very tiring excursion, but the beauty that you will see is worth it. It is better to take the agency. It’s just that it’s very difficult to overcome such a path by car or by public transport.
About the trip in general. In addition to hotels and air tickets, we spent 1000 euros for two in two weeks. Of these, 200 euros for gifts to their relatives. And at the same time, they did not deny themselves anything at all. Sometimes they even allowed themselves to be "bourgeois". Many Montenegrins speak Russian quite well. In addition, the languages have a lot in common. Even in Montenegro, amazing nature. My soulmate prevented me from walking from Budva to the beaches of Milocer, the beach of the queen, to walk through pine and orange groves. Believe me, there will be no such hiking as in Montenegro.
