500px provided description: Budva is a coastal tourist resort in Montenegro. On the outskirts Budva, on the shores of the Adriatic coast of Montenegro is a beautiful bronze sculpture of a girl, frozen in a graceful arabesque as she gazes out to sea. This monument located on a rocky rock near the beach Morgen is called the "Dancer of Budva ?or ?gymnast of Budva", and became the unofficial symbol of the city. It is work of the sculptor Gradimir Aleksi?, who found his inspiration in an old local legend about a girl, who came each morning to the beach, spent her days looking at the open sea, waiting for her fianc? to come back to her. The years passed by, sailors came and went, but her fianc? never returned....she is still waiting?

Budva was founded by the Greeks in the fourth century BC, and then fortified during the Middle Ages, the town forms the heart of the ?Budva Riviera?, which runs 22 miles from Trsteno to Buljarica, and is dotted with a series of sheltered coves and eight miles of sand and pebble beaches.
