Guide to Petrovac
Petrovac is a resort town in Montenegro, located seventeen kilometers from the tourist-favorite city of Budva. Petrovac attracts many people, including because it is literally surrounded by olive plantations and pine forests; plus, it has a mild microclimate. Throughout the year, there are around three hundred sunny days here.
Petrovac is on the Adriatic Sea coast, with very comfortable beaches and beautiful, picturesque nature.
Few people know this, but we want to tell you from the start: several scenes from famous Hollywood movies — The Brothers Bloom and November Man — were filmed in Petrovac.
Petrovac is mainly a place for a beach holiday and to enjoy the beauty of local nature, but there are also a few attractions worth paying attention to and visiting.
For example, we recommend visiting Kastio Castle, which is also a calling card of this Montenegrin resort. Take a walk on the Health Path, which stretches along the seashore. You will also pass through several rock tunnels, then come out to an abandoned hotel and the picturesque beach at Perazicha Do.
Take a boat trip to the island where the Church of the Holy Resurrection is located. However, you will also have the opportunity to reach the destination on your own by kayak.
And of course, visit local restaurants and try delicious dishes, including Chevapchichi, Punjene paprike, Kajmak, Prosciutto, Shampita, and others.

- Buljarica — a more spacious, laid-back area, good for families and those who want room on the beach.

Petrovac Guide
Local SIM / internet: for a short stay, tourist prepaid/eSIM bundles are the easiest. As a rough reference, you may find options like 500 GB ~ 15 € (15 days) or 1 TB ~ 20 € (30 days), depending on the operator.
