Pedal the edge of Boka Kotorska on a 45 km loop from Kotor, cross the bay by ferry, and visit the tiny island chapel of Our Lady of the Rock. This private, guided ride blends seaside roads, Venetian history, and a short boat trip for a compact coastal adventure.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning in Kotor arrives slow and salty: the Old Town's stone alleys are still cooling from the night, and the bay lies like poured metal between steep limestone walls. You clip into a rental bike at Culture Square, follow the anchor monument past fishermen hauling nets, and the road begins to trace the bay’s edge. Boats patter like punctuation; gulls quarter over water that reflects cliff and church alike.

Boka Kotorska was long contested by Venetian and Ottoman powers; Perast prospered as a maritime town under Venice and its baroque churches reflect that era.
Conservation
The bay’s karst ecosystem is sensitive—stick to marked roads and avoid littering; local guides encourage low-impact visits and small-boat limits protect shoreline habitats.
