Kotor, Montenegro's most atmospheric city 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛

#summerbudgettrip
Imagine walking through medieval cobblestone streets, in a village surrounded by mountains reminiscent of a fairy tale fjord, sailing the Adriatic Sea, exploring turquoise water cavesand islands steeped in legends of miracles and hauntings, climbing a lookout in a 9th century fortress, stoping here and there to enjoy excellent restaurants, cafes, and bars, all of this in the company of cute cats, many cats.

Does that sound fun to you? Then come with me to discover Kotor, a European gem still waiting to be discovered by many.

Kotor is situated on the shores of the homonymous Bay of Kotor, in Montenegro, one of the countries resulting from the dismantling of the former Yugoslavia.

Things to do in Kotor:
📌Getting lost in the cobblestone streets of the Old Town (Stari Grad). The old town of Kotor has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The town is beautiful, with plenty of small churches, each with its own history, and palaces that evoke the period when Kotor was part of the Republic of Venice.
