This is a must do while you’re in Perast. Located at the head of the Bay, Perast is so close to the water that you can sit in restaurants with seating on the beach and dip your feet in while you enjoy a glass of Montenegrin wine, Vranac.Ĥ. The small street stalls, roaming cats and swaying palms all add to the charm of this tiny town and the picturesque white-stone clock tower makes for some fantastic shots with the Lovcen mountain in the background. But don’t! No cars are allowed, so leave yours parked in the town car park for a couple of euros and enjoy the Mediterranean/Adriatic vibes as you stroll down the main street along the shore. This tiny little town is so small, it’s more of a village, and being tucked away from the road on the water’s edge, it’s possible you might miss it. With the beautiful bay surrounded by dramatic mountains, it’s any photographer or nature lover’s dream! Located on a narrow and easily missed path at the back of the old town, the entrance and rocky steps up to the church and the fortress ruins can be a tricky climb, especially if it’s wet – be sure to wear sensible shoes! However, the view of the Bay from the top is not one to be missed you can see the expanse of the Bay, the cruise ships docking and the picturesque orange roofs of houses below. Make sure not to miss the fortress while in Kotor.
CLIMB TO THE CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF REMEDY AND THE KOTOR FORTRESS You could spend all day there hopping from café to café, enjoying the street music and sunshine.Ģ. The entire old walled town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and you can see why with its winding alleyways and quaint shops. No visit to the Bay of Kotor would be complete without a visit to its namesake, the town of Kotor. And believe me, there’s something for everyone! But there is so much more to the Bay than just Kotor, so I’m here to make sure you make the most of your time around the Bay and to tell you about everything it has to offer. You’ve probably heard of Kotor too, located on the shore of the Bay of Kotor, or Boka Bay to the locals. The town of Budva and the luxury resort island of Sveti Stefan are probably the more well-known images you may have seen of Montenegro. Its size is comparable to Wales, or about the size of Connecticut for the US ladies among us! This means the country is very accessible and makes it easy to see each much as possible in a short amount of time – which is great, because there is A LOT to see.
Originally part of Yugoslavia, Montenegro only became its own independent country in 2006. With over 100 beaches along it’s Adriatic coast line, the southern-most fjord in the world, stunning national parks, glacier lakes and medieval towns everywhere you look, it’s surprising that Montenegro is not yet a hugely popular destination, especially in comparison to its neighbour, Croatia.
In my opinion, Montenegro is a hugely overlooked and underrated destination in Europe.
