Venetian Walls in Budva

From Italy to Montenegro, the Adriatic coastline is dotted with beautiful old Venetian towns. Of course Venice is the most notable but Piran in Slovenia and Rovinj in Croatia are both stunning examples as is Budva in Montenegro.

As the capital of Montenegro's tourism scene, Budva can be over-run with tourists in the summer months but in May and early June you can peacefully explore the town and its sandy beaches. From the coastal road above Budva you get great views of the Venetian walls which enclose the small Old Town as well as the red roofed stone houses typical of the region.
