Hey there! Hello from Budva, Montenegro! Day 9 here and I’m really starting to feel at home in this charming coastal town. The weather today is just perfect – broken clouds and a comfortable 19°C. (Finally, some relief from the heat!) I’ve been soaking up the local atmosphere and getting to know the neighborhood pretty well. The people here are so friendly, always willing to share a smile or a chat. (Hvala, a word I’ve picked up, means thank you in Montenegrin!) I love how each day brings new discoveries and today was no exception. I stumbled upon a hidden café with the most amazing pastries – a real treat for my taste buds. Can’t wait to share more about today’s adventures with you soon. Stay tuned for more updates from my little slice of paradise in Budva!
Local Cuisine Discoveries
As I strolled through the charming streets of Budva, I stumbled upon Kafana Kod Mira, a cozy spot known for its delicious Balkan cuisine. The warm ambiance and friendly staff immediately made me feel at home. The rustic decor and traditional music playing in the background added to the authentic experience. (Pro tip: Make a reservation if you can, as it can get quite busy, especially during peak hours.)
Now, let’s talk about the food. I dove into their Ćevapi, a dish of grilled minced meat served with ajvar and pita bread, and let me tell you, it was a flavor explosion in my mouth. The sarma, cabbage rolls stuffed with meat and rice, were also a hit. However, the pljeskavica, a grilled dish of spiced meat, fell a bit short for me. (Don’t forget to pair your meal with a refreshing local beer or rakija for the full experience.) Overall, Kafana Kod Mira is a solid choice for those craving authentic Balkan flavors in the heart of Budva. (And don’t forget to save room for dessert – the baklava is a must-try!)
Exploring Mogren Beach
Ah, my visit to Mogren Beach in Budva was a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of Eastern Europe. As I made my way through the charming streets of Budva, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation building up. And let me tell you, the moment I laid eyes on Mogren Beach, with its powdery sand and crystal-clear waters, I knew I was in for a treat. The stunning cliffs framing the beach added a touch of drama to the serene setting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing day by the sea. (Pro tip: Arrive early to snag a good spot on the beach and avoid the crowds.)
Now, here’s a little tidbit that most tourists might not know – Mogren Beach is actually divided into two parts, with a hidden passage connecting the two. How cool is that? As I soaked up the sun and took a dip in the refreshing waters, I couldn’t help but appreciate the natural beauty that surrounded me. The beach has a laid-back vibe that’s hard to resist, making it the ideal place to unwind and recharge. (Don’t forget to pack some snacks and plenty of sunscreen for your visit!) With its picturesque setting and relaxed atmosphere, Mogren Beach in Budva is definitely a hidden gem worth exploring in Eastern Europe.
Tomorrow’s Adventures
Tomorrow, I am super excited to be heading over to Mogren Beach! I’ve heard so many great things about this place and I can’t wait to finally experience it for myself. The crystal-clear waters and stunning views are definitely calling my name. But before you head to the beach, let me give you a few insider tips for navigating Budva like a pro. First off, make sure to bring some cash with you as many places here don’t accept cards. And don’t forget to try some local seafood – the grilled octopus is to die for! When it comes to getting around, I highly recommend renting a scooter to explore the area. It’s a fun and convenient way to see all the hidden gems that Budva has to offer. Just be sure to drive carefully as the roads can get a bit crowded. And last but not least, don’t forget to respect the local customs and culture. Remember to dress modestly when visiting religious sites and always greet people with a smile. The locals here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, so it’s important to show them the same courtesy. I hope these tips help you make the most out of your time in Budva. Have a great time at Mogren Beach and soak up all the beauty that this place has to offer!
