Maine, Budva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maine (Serbian Cyrillic: Маине) is a hamlet in northern Budva, Montenegro, located by the Grđevica River, between Budva and Pobori.
The area was inhabited by a small eponymous Albanian tribe,[1][2] the Mahine. In 1838, the three small knežine of Maine, Pobori and Braići, above Budva, had 1705 inhabitants, all of Orthodox faith.[3] The Podmaine monastery is located in the hamlet; the monastery was the gathering place of the Maine tribe who traditionally held meetings on the feast day of St. George.[4]
