Ancient Kotor is located in the arms of the mountains on the shores of the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotor). Local landscapes are a real wonder of the world.
Kotor is an ideal option for tourists who like to combine a beach vacation and exploring the city. The old part of Kotor resembles an architectural treasure trove. Every traveler will find their treasure here. For centuries, Kotor has been hidden not only by mountains but also by mighty bastions.
