ABOUT US
The latest chapter at the Hippo begins with its new owner, Marcus. Arriving as a guest at the Hippo in April 08 and enraptured by the beauty of the mountainous terrain, the crystal blue seas of the Adriatic and the ‘rough around the edges’ charm of this colourful, unique and friendly country – he has never left.
His goals at Hippo are simple; get to know people from all over the world and to help them discover the gem that is Montenegro. In exchange for your embellished travel stories your host, himself an avid explorer of these lands, will gladly offer up his local wisdom to anyone with nothing better to do than listen to the tales of the guest who never left.
2011 marks the sixth year of the Hippo and following in the tradition of its founders, Dave and Nadya, Marcus has set out to change the Adriatic: to make it a better, safer, cheaper place to stay for 2-15 nights; to encourage those wishing to take their journeys a little farther down the road; to empower travellers--young and old--who've set their wandering sights on the pearl that you behold upon capturing the Balkans; to remind mankind that, yes, Montenegro is a tourism force to be miss-handled at the adventurer's peril.
I’m quite certain that you'll enjoy the hell out of life here in Budva. The weather is delightful; the food is second-to-none; the people are warm, friendly, and generous; and the experience is surpassed only by that enjoyed by the Titans of yesteryear. See you on the Adriatic; see you in Budva; see you at the Hippo.
