More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light slices across the Bay of Kotor as you step from a compact air-conditioned van into the Old Town’s stone alleys. Salt and history hang in the air; the guide leads you past the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon while fishermen mend nets along the quay, and the city’s medieval walls loom like a map of past sieges.
