Foreword
"Serbian Bosphorus", "Bride of the Adriatic", "Pearl of the Mediterranean" ... Yes, yes, it's all about them. About Boka Kotorska. A unique bay, the southernmost fjord on earth, a gorge sunken by an earthquake - there are many versions of the origin of this wonderful place. But there is one fact: the Bay of Kotor is under the protection of UNESCO and has been included in the World Heritage List.
The drive along the bay itself is a unique adventure with ever-changing views. The ferry crossing across the Verige Strait is also a little adventure.
Photo breaks and panoramas are also an unforgettable part of our tour!
The cities we will visit are unique in their own way.
Porto Montenegro (Tivat) is a parking lot for elite mega yachts and simply a unique, cozy city of the rich.
Herceg Novi is an open-air botanical residential garden and a city of terraces and stairs. Approximately 200 years of Turkish rule and approximately 100 years of Venetian rule have left interesting and unique traces in the streets and fortresses. Bright colors were thrown in from neighboring Dubrovnik. The result was a memorable palette of staircases, ramparts, monasteries, fortresses...
Venetian Perast and its Wonder Islands. Perast lived and lives today with the sea.
Everything came from the sea: enemies, joys, husbands, wealth, pirates, mail..
The islands floating in front of him in the blue of the bay are a real wonder that is worth visiting and, for example, holding your breath in admiration between the sea and the lighthouse of the island of the “Virgin on the Reef”.
And then ancient Kotor awaits us! During a sightseeing tour of Kotor, we walk around all its rough bastions, see the sea and the North Gate. We visit baroque noble chambers and Romanesque temples from the 12th-13th centuries. Century… stories, tales, legends. All of this will accompany our tour of Kotor Old Town.
For leisure, we will recommend the “real” pastry shop where luxurious tiramisu is prepared.
