The Ballerina Statue - Located just next to the path leading to Mogren beach and Budva’s historical district, this statue depicting a ballerina could just be Budva’s most popular destination for those who love to take photos.
A local legend has it that at the exact spot where the statue stands, a young woman used to stare at the sea every day, waiting for her sailor lover who, upon embarking to sea, never came back. The young woman waited every day for her love, but to no avail. According to the legend, the woman was found dead on that very rock. The statue is truly a sight to behold, a true beauty to warm the hearts of onlookers. As it is located en route to Mogren beach, it is difficult to overlook, and is definitely worth stopping for, just to marvel at its beauty and story.
