The excursion Kotor bay takes you in one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Due to dark water and steep surrounding mountains it is often compared with Norwegian fjords. The coast of the Bay is decorated with numerous stone houses and beautiful churches originating from the middle century. Our guide takes you through the history of this area.
From all sides, the Bay of Kotor is surrounded by steep and almost vertical cliffs reflected in the dark blue sea water. Along the Bay, there are a series of towns and villages, all of which have their own stories.
The City of Kotor is a UNESCO protected world heritage site, and the Cathedral of St Thryphon from the 12th century, the Maritime Museum, its many palaces, churches, piazzas, and piazzettas, and the Old Town create an atmosphere of a unique medieval town.
