Walking the beautiful beach side of Budva

Walking the beautiful beach side of Budva you will find a place that is growing to become a mini Riviera in Montenegro. This town and the area around it has tourist attractions including some ancient Roman ruins, some churches and beautiful ocean views. I found it to be one of the two places in Montenegro I really enjoyed and decided to extend my stay partly because the accommodations had this beautiful view you can see below and it was just very relaxing. Enjoy the photos with Bill Smale Adventures.

The apartment view
The view from the apartment which was also very nice inside with everything I needed to clean cook and just relax.
Rainy Budva
There was quite a bit of rain in December but still it was nice being here. You can see the rain over by the hills.
Is this hotel Garibaldi?
I should’ve checked to see if, in English, this hotel was named “Hotel Garibaldi”. That would be interesting since it is just across the Adriatic from Italy add 2000 years ago this area was controlled by the Romans.
A beach side Churchill cigar
There was a cigar shop on the first floor of this apartment complex so I took advantage and found a Churchill
A smooth cigar
This is a very nice smooth smoke
Budva Cats
There are cats everywhere which seems to be a thing in the Balkans, maybe a really good effort to keep the mice in check.
The local beach side
The beach is not really beautiful sand filled areas but the water is so clear and beautiful. While you are eating at the restaurants looking over the water you can see the fish.

A lot of building in Budva
There is a lot of building going on but there are not enough hotel rooms for touristS so you will find most of the accommodations are through booking companies as private apartments
