About this experience
You will visit the most beautiful place on the Montenegrin coast - Boka-Kotor Bay, where you will see ancient cities and a man-made island on a reef. The walk will immerse you in the royal era, the Turkish heritage of Montenegro, and the atmospheric past of the country. Natural beauty, the architecture of the Old Town of Kotor and Perast will merge into an incredible picture that you will not soon forget.
What to expect
History of ancient cities
In the city of Kotor, you will encounter the heritage of Venetian culture - temples, palaces, and fortress walls. Examining the architectural details of old buildings, you will experience the atmosphere of that time, view the city from a height, and learn its history: it has endured enemy raids and epidemics many times. And in Perast, an important political center of the past where European and Ottoman cultures mixed, you will see the highest bell tower on the shores of the Adriatic Sea and numerous mansions of the nobility.
Cultural heritage of Montenegro
You will see roads into the mainland, laid by the Romans. At Savina Monastery, you will see the relics of the Serbian queen and local saints, the miraculous icon of the Savina Mother of God, and even discover a Russian book. You will explore the Spanjola Fortress, founded by the Spaniards and completed by the Turks, learning about its history.
Beauties on the water
You will visit Our Lady of the Rocks Island, where you will see its main attractions. This completely man-made island grew on a reef, and its church houses many valuable items brought by sailors from around the world as gifts - for example, a painting embroidered with the hair of the wife of one of the sailors. And Saint George's Island, currently closed to visitors, you will see from afar.
Medieval and modern life
Our path will also cross Herceg Novi, full of colors, greenery, and stone stairs. You will see the Kanli Kula Fortress built by the Turks, the clock tower, and the city churches. Then you will stroll along the promenade, cross by ferry to the other side of the Verige Strait, enjoy views of the Bay of Kotor, and the architecture of the surrounding shores.
