Legend has it that a young ballerina fell in love with a local fisherman in the picturesque town of Budva. Their romance blossomed amidst the backdrop of the Adriatic Sea, with the ballerina often dancing on the cliffs overlooking the bay while the fisherman worked below. β΅οΈ
However, tragedy struck when the fisherman was lost at sea during a storm. Heartbroken, the ballerina continued to dance on the cliffs every evening, hoping for his return. Eventually, she herself disappeared, her spirit said to have merged with the sea. π
To honour their love and her memory, the people of Budva erected the Ballerina statue overlooking the sea, capturing her eternal dance and the enduring spirit of love. It's said that on quiet evenings, when the moonlight shimmers on the water, some claim to see the ghostly figure of the ballerina gracefully pirouetting on the cliffs, keeping her love alive through the ages. β¨
