Hotel Aquarius 3 * (Budva, Montenegro, Budva Riviera): description, reviews
Montenegro, once part of Yugoslavia, has not so many seaside resorts, because the length of its coastline is only 300 km. Of these, on the equipped beaches there is one-fourth, that is, 73 km. But despite this, the rest here is wonderful. We invite you to look in the small family hotel Aquarius 3 *. Budva is the city where it is located, and at the same time the best and most fun resort in the country. There are many places for entertainment, many narrow ancient streets, which are so interesting to walk, many chic beaches and even more attractions that give the city a special twist. The owners of the hotel we offer are glad to all guests and try to make their stay in the country pleasant and comfortable.
Location
Without exaggeration, in each recall of tourists it is informed about the convenient location of the Aquarius 3 *. Budva is located approximately in the middle of the coastline. This is one of the smallest areas of Montenegro. On the one hand it is washed by the Adriatic Sea, from the other three it adjoins the resort towns of Kotor and Bar, as well as the second capital of the country Cetinje, which has no access to the coast. The hotel guests can easily visit all these amazingly beautiful places, as the distances here are small. So, to Kotor - only 22 km, and to Bar - about 35 km. The bus station is located 10 minutes from the Hotel Aquarius. Also very close to the market, the Old Town and the coast.
How to get there
Travel agencies offer several options for travel to Budva.
The fastest and cheapest air route is Moscow-Montenegro. The country has two international airports, the first - near the city of Podgorica, the second - 4 km from the city of Tivat. In Podgorica, planes from Russia fly only in season, and the distance from there to our hotel is about 52 km. But the way lies through the famous Skadar Lake.
There are more flights to Tivat from Russia, besides, they exist not only from Moscow, but also from Samara, Ekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and St. Petersburg. From the airport, called just like the city, - "Tivat", to the hotel - only about 20 km, which the shuttle overcomes in no more than half an hour. It's also easy to get to Budva from there. 100 meters from the exit from the terminal there is a route, and there is an unofficial stop of buses going in all directions. Those who do not like to "vote" on the roads, can drive up to the bus station (up to 1.5 km), and then buy a ticket to any desired city and go with comfort.
