The most beautiful city in the Republic of Montenegro, which has preserved its medieval character – alongside cafés, restaurants and a modern lifestyle. Kotor lies in the Bay of Kotor on the Adriatic Sea, and because of its shape and the steep mountains that surround it, the Bay is referred to as the southernmost fjord in Europe. This is a beautiful area rich in enchanting landscapes which include mountains, bays and ancient cities that have turned this region into a rich and vibrant tourist site.
Back to the Middle Ages
The route of the tour in Kotor promises a transition between stunning landscapes: from the harbor one drives along the winding fjord that is surrounded by high mountains, promontories and small islands that create a landscape and atmosphere that is pastoral, calm and beautiful.
The Old City of Kotor, which was built between the 12th and the 14th centuries as a botanical garden, has maintained its typical medieval appearance and was even declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
In Kotor you can visit the unique Saint Tryphon Cathedral; and the Church of St. Luke, which displays a variety of impressive murals by local and Venetian artists, as well as a wealth of spectacularly beautiful cultural and historical treasures. When you sail into Kotor you should combine a local tour with the local entertainment. It is worthwhile stopping to dine at one of the excellent restaurants serving seafood, or participate in maritime activities on the beaches. For extreme sports enthusiasts Kotor offers jeep tours, river rafting and challenging hikes.
An impressive wall and beautiful beaches
One of the favorite places for tourists to visit in Montenegro is the ancient town of Budva, which flourished during the Middle Ages and is today a well-developed tourist destination. In Budva you can enjoy walking along the delightful route to the Old City which is surrounded by a wall dating back to the 15th century. There, among the picturesque and narrow alleyways, you will find an abundance of shops selling souvenirs as well as some magnificent churches.
This is the ultimate place to explore buildings constructed in the authentic medieval style, next to the beautiful marina and well-kept beach – a mesmerizing blend of past and present, sea and land.
When visiting the area you will not want to miss the panoramic views towards the 'island' of Sveti Stefan, which is a UNESCO heritage site in its entirety. History has seen the island evolve from a fortress during the 15th century to a fishing village, and it has now been entirely renovated with luxury homes and resort-style hotels.
