Near the popular resort town of Budva, in the district of Becici, grows the centuries-old Olive tree, which is more than 2000 years old !!!
The oldest olive tree can be reached on foot along Ive Lole Ribara (about 2 km.) or by car. The distance is small, but because of the steep climb up the road takes about an hour of walk. To the cave leads a narrow and in some places an impenetrable path, intersected by streams, trees and stones. It is worth noting that if you go on foot, you can see the steepest views of the nature of Montenegro, the Adriatic Sea, the beaches of Becici and Rafailovici and the entire Budva Riviera...The Old Olive, which grew back in the time of Jesus, is still green and still bears fruit! It is also an excellent object for a photo shoot. Next to Oliva are an old olive oil extraction mill and a cave. They can be reached by the signs that are located on the road.
In the premises of the old olive mill, up to the 70s of the 20th century, olive oil was squeezed with the help of people's and bulls' power. Now there is a museum here.

A powerful fortress wall around the Ancient Town of Budva in Montenegro was rebuilt by the Venetians during the Renaissance after a devastating earthquake in the 17th century. The first defensive constructions of the city were erected here in the 9th century, and one of the ancient fortress walls was part of the Benedictine monastery that overlooked the coast. According to ancient engravings in the museum of Budva, the city fortifications of the 16th century has six somewhat elongated towers and one round one, between which stretched thick walls laid out of a hewn stone. Its borders were unchanged for several centuries, as well as the number of residents of the city did not exceed 1000 people.
After the massive earthquake in Montenegro on April 15, 1979, with the magnitude of 7 points the "Old Grad" in Budva, like its fortress, was again destroyed and restored only by 1987. To date, the Old part of Budva is an architectural monument of antiquity and is protected by UNESCO.

St. Ivan's fortress is located 280 meters above the sea. You should get in here to see breath-taking panorama of Boka-Kotor Bay.
It is often advised to start you way early morning, but we consider sunset, about 6p.p. is an ideal time. The heat is slackening and sunset sky is beautiful in particular. It is better to start from the eastern part of Old Town. You should come under an ancient arc near Grubonja Palace, this is the start. You should buy a ticket (3 Euro per person) in daytime. After 9p.m. checkman is leaving and you can come free.

Goving from the National Park Lovcen (or from Cetinje) to the town of Kotor (or vice versa) by car, motorcycle or bicycle, you can see a lot of interesting and memorable things: splendid views and panoramas, vast expanses of Montenegro, wild forest, abandoned villages, serpentines, etc. Countless viewpoints, parking with beautiful views and just road offs, from which you can see Montenegro at a height of 1.5 km above the sea level are locates along the way. The road from Lovcen (from Cetinje) to Kotor takes about 2-3 hours, but believe me, it's really worth it!Lifehack: the road from Cetinje or the National Park Lovcen to Kotor (Cetinje - Lovcen - Kotor) is a simple variant, since the National Park Lovcen mountain road is quite flat, and to the town of Kotor it goes down by the complex mountain serpentine, watching prodigious views, is just a pleasure. The way back from Kotor to Lovcen begins precisely with this, sometimes dangerous, mountain serpentine, which consists of 26 loops! (Sharp turns). And since it is one lane concrete road, rising continuously upwards, this way is quite difficult.
Be attentive and have a pleasant journey!
