Becici Holiday
Becici is a tourist complex set behind the renowned Becici Beach, near the historic town of Budva on Montenegro's Adriatic coast. It's a laidback location and the beautiful sandy beach and general amenities make it ideal for families. A centre for bathing and relaxation, it offers a wide range of watersports and other sporting facilities.
Modern, tourist-focussed Becici is perfectly complemented by the charms of the old walled town of Budva, with its selection of cafes, restaurants and shops, which is just over a mile away along the coastal promenade, or, if you prefer, by a small train. Founded in the ninth century and destroyed and rebuilt several times, Budva is believed to be one of the oldest settlements in the Balkans. There was a Hellenic colony here as far back as the 4th century BC. The fifteenth century fortifications, protruding into the sea, include medieval ramparts and towers. Elsewhere, the architecture shows Venetian influences. The old town was built on a little island, connected to the mainland by a sandbar, which, over the centuries, has silted up to become a peninsula. The white stone walls and red-tile roofs are interspersed with bougainvillea and oleander.
Walking out of Becici in the other direction, you reach the old fishing village of Rafailovici, with its pleasant cafes and restaurants.
Beaches
The sandy beach at Becici is one of the longest and most beautiful on the southern Adriatic coast, stretching almost 2 kilometres from Zavale to Djevistenja. In 1935 it was awarded a Grand Prix in Paris as the most beautiful beach in Europe
Shopping
The Becici tourist complex offers the usual range of tourism-related shops with products ranging from designer labels to local curios, while there is a wide range of more traditional shops and markets in next-door Budva, the largest tourist centre in Montenegro.
Nightlife
Budva's many bars and clubs make it one of the main centres of nightlife on the Montenegrin Riviera. Open-air discos are held on the waterfront south of the Old Town. Becici's modern hotels offer bars, night clubs and discos.
Local Specialities
Budva has numerous restaurants and taverns serving local specialities, such as an hors d'oeuvre of goat cheese and ham drizzled with olive oil, or grilled fish with garlic and parsley, along with the local Vranac red wine and 'Loza' brandy. International cuisine is available at the many restaurants in Becici's modern hotels.
