Kotor Montenegro

The visit to Kotor actually starts about one and a half hours before you get there. You enter the bay of Kotor and sail down in between an expanse of mountains with various buildings dotted around.

Into the bay of Kotor

As you become nearer the town, the buildings become more dense and ornate churches cling to the hillsides. Then you swing into the bay which is a beautiful site, with the fortified walls running up, across and back down the mountain as a back drop, absolutely stunning. For the fitter people you can walk along the fortification.
At the base is a medieval city which is entered through one of three gates. Inside is a maze of buildings. squares, palaces, cathederal, clock tower and fountain. Cafe's are in abundance as well as various other shops.

A little walk from there is a road winding down the bay and into the marina.
We left under the cover of darkness, the fortification was lit up in a large arc and the bay was lined in lights.
