🏰🌊 Kotor — Where Mountains Touch the Sea

Nestled between steep mountains and a shimmering blue bay, Kotor is a place that feels both ancient and timeless. 🇲🇪✨
Every corner of this medieval town tells a story — from the stone walls to the quiet charm of its narrow streets.



🌅 Top Things To Do in Kotor

1️⃣ Kotor Old Town
Step inside the fortified walls and get lost in a maze of cobblestone alleys, cathedrals, and charming squares. The old town feels like a living postcard from centuries ago. 🕰️

2️⃣ Climb to the Fortress of San Giovanni
It’s a steep hike, but the view from the top — overlooking the bay and terracotta rooftops — is worth every step. Go at sunrise or sunset for breathtaking light. 🌄

3️⃣ Kotor Bay Cruise
Sail through the stunning Bay of Kotor, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and tranquil waters. Stop by Our Lady of the Rocks, a tiny island church with fascinating history. 🚤💙

4️⃣ Perast & Our Lady of the Rocks (Day Trip)
Just 20 minutes away, this elegant baroque village offers picture-perfect views and peaceful charm.

5️⃣ Lovćen National Park
For nature lovers — enjoy mountain views, fresh air, and the famous Njegoš Mausoleum at the summit. 🏔️



💫 Final Thoughts

Kotor is a rare mix of history, peace, and beauty — a place where time slows down and every view feels cinematic.
You don’t just see Kotor; you feel it — in the quiet mornings, echoing church bells, and golden reflections on the bay.

✨ Travel Tip: Spend at least 2–3 days — one exploring Old Town, one for a bay cruise, and one to relax by the water or explore nearby Perast.
