Knowing that Budva and Becici are large cities, we settled on a city that is calmer. Budva can be compared with Yalta, and Petrovac with Alupka. We were in Petrovac, at the Petrovac hotel, the hotel is good even with 4 * stars, not 3 *, it is from 2008, so everything is fresh and well-groomed, the food there is normal, we only had breakfast, for 9 years, the menu for breakfast was the same, but you could choose from it, at least we were not hungry. Room cleaning was daily. It interfered with the fact that the windows overlooked the sea and there were garbage cans 6 meters from the hotel, and the fact that garbage trucks came to pick up garbage from 4 to 6 in the morning, which created noise and, of course, woke up. Before, the sea was 150-200 meters in the shade and the descent is gentle. All the beaches in Montenegro are municipal and we didn’t really like them. We were on 4 beaches, all of them are in Petrovac, (1. Central, 2. Luchice, 3. Beach through the tunnels in the village of Rezevici and 4. beach which is further from Lucica to go about 40 minutes, uphill then from the mountain ) but each in a different bay, and on each beach every day we watched a dirty beach, where immeasurably cigarette butts, traffic jams, and all sorts of rubbish, there are too many people, everyone walks on you or on your bedding, even when they were lying on sunbeds, they managed to sprinkle you pebbles. Beyond the sea, there is such a thing as wind, which can lower the sea temperature from +26 to +18 overnight, i. e. you can’t always guess with a warm sea, but in a cold one in which you cramp your limbs and then your throat hurts, you don’t really swim. (if the sea is cold, then only after 3 days it will warm up, at this time it is better to go on excursions) The sea is often clean, but sometimes very dirty polyethylene floated. bags, algae, needles from Christmas trees, cigarette butts, feminine hygiene products, eggplants, the horror that even in such a sea I didn’t want to swim.
Yes, the nature there is beautiful, we were on 3 excursions, we chose more nature.
Lake Skadar (an ordinary lake with fresh water, where there are many water lilies and ducks with birds, they take you on a boat on a lake surrounded by mountains, swimming there is like in an ordinary river, the excursion is so-so, I was not impressed).

Bay of Kotor, (it is worth going to, because you will visit the old town of Kotor, there is beautiful architecture, visit the temple on one of the islands, and you will have the opportunity to swim in the bay. I liked such an easy excursion).
Durmitor Canyons, (During the tour we passed Skadar Lake, passed their capital Podgorica, the canyons where the Moraca River flows, visited the monastery, wetted our feet in Biograd Lake, and visited the highest bridge in Europe. The nature is beautiful, we drove, and there are mountains and forests around us, a lot of tunnels, we traveled almost the whole of Montenegro, but the tour lasts 12 hours, and it is very tiring, it can easily get sick and the pressure rise or fall. Everything worked out for us).
Cities such as Budva and Becici are more party and visited. In restaurants, the service is not always up to par. And everyone smokes everywhere. This country only develops its tourism, but does not follow order and cleanliness. We will not go there again, or we will go, but only in 10 years, when all this srach will be removed.
And more important information:
