    Budva, Montenegro, reviews Budva on the Adriatic Sea, a perfect blend of Mediterranean romance and Balkan wildness. The 2,500-year-old Venice city whispers in red roofs and slate lanes, the bells of St. Ivan’s Church are concerted with waves, and the “Dancing Girl” statue takes the reef as a stage, fixed into a landmark silhouette. It is a blue-green crescendo of Moglen Beach and the rich private hideout of San Stefan Island during the day, and at night it is a sleepless theater intertwined with an open-air bar and electronic music. Despite summer tourists, a cup of coffee for 10 euros and a seafood meal for 50 euros per person still make this a European price ceiling. The only thing to adapt is perhaps the cat that suddenly hits in the alleys of the ancient city, or the corner of a film called 007 under the Venetian wall.

    且兰老飞老侯且兰老飞老侯

    From Kotor, take a speedboat for a 3-hour round trip. The biggest destination is the Black Mountain Blue Hole. The Blue Hole in Montenegro is famous for its dreamy blue waters formed by sunlight refraction. The speedboat disembarked on Notre Dame Island once and passed through the abandoned submarine base in the former Yugoslavia (Figure VIII). Also photographed is the island of Mamura (pictured), a former World War II concentration camp converted into a luxury resort hotel on the maritime border between Croatia and Montenegro.

    枫原没有万叶枫原没有万叶

    The Bay of Kotor, which ranks first on the list of places to spend the summer in Biella, is the shining pearl of the Adriatic Sea! A beautiful bay that you can encounter for free, with a score of 4.7 and 38 reviews, is definitely popular~ The mountains on both sides of the bay are lush, and the towns on the shore are scattered. The sea water is clear and blue. Take a boat cruise or walk along the coast, feel the sea breeze, and see the snow-capped mountains and the blue sea in the distance blend together. The scenery is so beautiful that it is breathtaking. The romance and grandeur of Montenegro are fully displayed here. It is a bay feast that you must check in when you come to Montenegro~

    椰风海豹椰风海豹

    I rented a car from Tivat Airport and drove for three and a half hours on a mountain road just to see the Tara River Valley Bridge - the famous Yugoslav World War II classic movie "The Bridge", a classic memory of a generation. Walking on the bridge, I seemed to hear a familiar melody in my ears - Ah, my friend, goodbye! Ah, my friend, goodbye~ goodbye~ goodbye...

    A very new Orthodox church in Podgorica built in 2014. It is also the largest Orthodox church in the Balkans. It is very beautiful. You must go around to the back to see the many statues carved on the intact stone. It is very impressive.

    This Black Lake is a lake in the Durmitor National Park in Montenegro. It has lush trees, fresh air and beautiful natural scenery. It is a very popular local holiday destination and is well worth a visit.

    文文玫瑰文文玫瑰

    The ancient city of Kotor is located in the Kotor Bay of the Adriatic Sea. It has the most complete ancient city walls in Europe. The ancient buildings are full of a heavy sense of history! Climb up the city wall and overlook the blue sea. The view is superb. There are also shuttle boats and scattered houses.

    It is relatively small, but the stone-like building really looks very historical. I think it is really good, as if walking in the ancient city, looking at the ancient church, and reading a history book.
