Montenegro: Budva
For our first longer 2022 vacation, Nada, Bronco and me decided to have a road trip to the Balkans with our target countries being Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
We decided to spend the sixth day in one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast, Budva. The plan was simple, walk along the coast, see the city, enjoy on the beach and meet our friends from the city.
Previous days of our vacation: Day 5 - 15687, Day 4 - 15686, Day 3 - 15685, Day 2 - 15684, Day 1 - 15683.

The town has many piazzas connected with narrow streets.
 |
| The Old Town of Budva is situated on a rocky peninsula, on the southern end of Budva field. Archaeological evidence suggests that Illyrian settlement was formed on the site of the Old Town before Greek colonization of the Adriatic. While the site was permanently settled since Roman era, most of existing city walls and buildings were erected during the Venetian rule. The entire town is encircled with defensive stone walls. The fortifications of Budva are typical of the Medieval walled cities of the Adriatic, complete with towers, embrasures, fortified city gates and a citadel. |
 |
| The fragments of Roman Necropolis from 1st century B.C. were discovered in 1936-1938. |
Bronco is afraid of water. We couldn't convince him to wet himself.
