The legend says Budva is founded by Cadmus, the son of the Phoenician king Agenor, who was forced to leave his throne in search of a sister in Europe, who was kidnapped by Zeus. He travelled a lot and conquered the surroundings of ancient Budva. But, trying to occupy Greece, Cadmus was defeated and converted to a serpent with Harmony’s wife. After a while, the Greeks colonized Budva and the city became the main trading port. But in the 2nd century B.C. the city became part of the Roman Empire. About 1500 years ago, the Slavs and Avars started moving here.

 Beaches in Budva attract hundreds of thousands of tourists every year with their beauty, space and associated infrastructure.
