Projects in Petrovac
For the first time Petrovac was mentioned in the chronicle of priest Dukljanin in the 12th century like a settlement called Lastva . In the 16th century Petrovac was under the Venice Republic reign. During this period the castle Kastel Lastva was built to protect the settlement from the attacks from the sea. Petrovac changed its name several times from Lastva to Kastel Lastva, Kastio and finally after the First World War got it's nowadays name Petrovac.
Petrovac is a small picturesque holiday resort. It is located between the towns Budva and Bar. It is one of the most popular holiday resorts along the Montenegrin coast. Close to the sandy town beach of Petrovac there is another sandy beach Lucice just 10 minutes walking from Petrovac.
The city is on a sandy bay, surrounded by dense pine forests. A very large number of sunny days annually, from early spring to late fall, the thick pine and olive groves, the warm, clean sea and wonderful beaches-all combine to provide a pleasant and lovely holiday for visitors It has a 600m long sandy beach, and is a popular tourist destination. It is seen as a somewhat "calmer" resort, as opposed to the vibrant surrounding towns of Budva and Sutomore.
Although Petrovac grew significantly during the last few decades, the traditional character and the charming atmosphere is almost completely preserved. On the walkway along the beach there are many small shops bars and restaurants. The town is still relatively small in comparison to Budva. Its advantage is also that there is not too much land available for large scale developments.
