Unimaginable Scenery In A Hidden Corner Of Europe
Marijja Says: Hello there, I would like to help a bit. I checked some forums and it seems easy to find small boat to take tourists to island from Perast.But do not be surprised with the fact that you might be allowed to visit only one island "Gospa od Skrpjela". It happened that the other...
MikeAtSea Says: The Bay of Kotor which also is called Kotor Fjord is the largest and southernmost Fjord in Europe. The Fjord is known since the Antiquity and its 87 sq km big, 30m deep, 28km long and is surrounded by mountains up to 1900m high. I sailed into the Bay of Kotor by ship and the...
Our Lady of the Rock & Abbey of St. George
MikeAtSea Says: A short distance away from Kotor situated on two islands in the middle of Kotor Fjord. The island of St. George is an intense, stalwart, dark and inward-looking natural island while Our Lady of the Rock is a slender, happy, light-filled “floating” island that was man made....
MikeAtSea Says: Kotor is protected on its northern and south-western side, towards the waters. The walls are fortified by bastions, most prominent the Kampana tower and citadel (13th to 14th century) near the point where the river enters the bay. Close to it is the Sea Gate (also Main Gate)...
MikeAtSea Says: Towering high above Kotor one of the must sees is the walk up the fort. Be aware however that if it is raining the walk up can be quiet slippery and you definitively should be good on your feet if you attempt the walk up. The Castle of St. John occupies a location that has...
spidermiss Says: I was delighted to participate in a walking tour of Old Kotor on the second day of our cruise. It was my dream to visit the walled town and I was more than happy to learn about the medieval city situated in beautiful Boka Kotorska.Our tour guide, Stefan, met us outside the...
spidermiss Says: This palace is situated between the Square of Arms and Flour Square in the old town. The palace has Gothic and Venetian influences suggesting a number of different occupiers to the palace over the centuries. There is a legend relating to the Beskuca family which tells of a...
spidermiss Says: The Sea Gate is one of the main walled city entrances to the old town and leads you to the main square. The Sea Gate and the fortifications were built in the 1500s. At the top of the gate is the former Yugoslavian emblem and not far on a fortification is a Venetian Lion....
Trg od Oruzja (The Square of Arms)
spidermiss Says: Through the wall this is the first square people arrive at and is Kotor's biggest square. It mainly houses cafes, restaurants and hotels. It is hub of Old Town Kotor and notable buildings are the Old Clock Tower and the Napoleon Theatre.
Gurgurina Palace & Maritime Musuem
spidermiss Says: This Palace was built in the 18th Century and situated in the Old Town's central area. The palace houses the Maritime Museum. This interesting musuem exhibits the Boka Kotorska seafarers who shaped Kotor Bay economically and culturally and I thoroughly enjoyed looking round.
spidermiss Says: Pima Palace is considered the most beautiful palace in Kotor and is situated on Flour Square. It's designed in a Gothic with baroque features and was owned by the Pima family during the 14th to 18th Century. Renovations were done during the time and the present facade is...
Church of St Nicholas (Sveti Nikola)
spidermiss Says: The church is named after the patron saint of seafarers and travelers who shaped Kotor's history of trade and travel throughout the centuries. This Orthodox Church was built in 1909 as a tribute to the patron saint. I didn't go inside the church but should a visit inside is...
Gili_S Says: As all over the region also here in Kotor old town there are many cafes and restaurant where you can take a break, a drink and eat something to re charge your batteries while exploring this lovely old town.
Pizzeria Giardino: Pizzeria Giardino
antistar Says: Decent pizza, if not spectacular. They seemed to be cooked too long, which suggested they didn't have a hot enough oven. If they could fix that their pizza could be great. Service was friendly enough, but they might put a lot of people off by sitting at the entrance smoking...
Treeman28 Says: Having scoured the internet for bus times and given up, I came to Dubrovnik bus station with crossed fingers. A link I was directed to, and wishfully ignored due to the scarcity of buses, turns out to be correct. There are only a handful of buses to Kotor a day, and we only...
Gili_S Says: If ten minutes easy walk from the bus station to the old city is too long to walk or you might have heavy language with you then you can just take a taxi, no need to look anywhere, they are waiting just outside the bus station.
Gili_S Says: Kotor old town is a tourist place, most businesses are meant for the tourist and there will be plenty of tourist there anyway, so don’t get annoyed by this. It is still not as crowded is the big European cities and you can enjoy your time in relax matter.
Get lost in the small streets in the old city
Gili_S Says: You don’t need to search much or explore too far, you only need to hang around freely in the old city and check also the very small street, as it is so small city you can actually get lost and find your way back, no risk of not finding your way back what’s so ever :)
MikeAtSea Says: The Flag of Montenegro was adopted in 2004 and henceforth is one of the "youngest" flags and national symbols in Europe. The flag of Montenegro is red, with the coat of arms in the middle, and golden borders. The coast of arms a two headed Eagle includes a Venetian Lion in...
smoeltje Says: If you have time to visit only one place in Motenegro or Balkans, choose Kotor, you will surely not regret it :) A breathtaking view from the top of the city fortress after a breathtaking way up the hill (and climbing 1.350 stairs). A never to be forgotten experience :))
