The Old and New City

Thousands of tourists flock to Budva every year during the high season. My new friends in Montenegro said that almost everyone in Budva is rich! Apparently, some people even call this place Montenegrin Kuwait – many of the residents here sold their houses to foreign investors for big money and became millionaires.

Most of the buyers were Russians, Austrians and Italians. Look at the narrow path between two rows of shops? Well, it is like this almost throughout the old town which makes it charming and interesting. I also visited two beautiful ancient churches. The first was St. Ivan’s which was built in the7th century and the second St. Mary’s of Punta dating from 840.
