A treasure named Kotor

Listed in UNESCO’s World Heritage, the Bay of Kotor is one of the loveliest in the world. Come discover…

Surrounded by steep mountains rising to altitudes of 2,000 metres, the Bay of Kotor offers rare natural beauty. On the west coast of Montenegro, it consists of four bays—Herceg Novi, Risan, Kotor, and Tivat—each with fascinating villages that have inherited influences from several centuries of Byzantine, Spanish, and Venetian cultures. All well worth discovering.

Herceg Novi

At the entrance to the bay, Herceg Novi is a delightful seaside town known for its architecture, beaches, and nightlife. Its many cultural sites include the Savina monastery, Botanical Gardens, History Museum, ‘‘Sahat-Kula’’ clock tower, the Ottoman ‘‘Kanli-Kula’’ fortress—and Ulica Njegoseva, a magnificent street paved in marble.

Perast

A real picture postcard, time seems to stand still in this old fishing village. Its Venetian palaces, churches (especially Saint-Nicolas with its bell tower 55 m high), and seafront terraces account for its unique charm. It faces two islands: Saint-Georges and Our Lady of the Rocks with its charming chapel containing relics of the Virgin Mary. With its narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses and bougainvilleas in bloom, Perast is ideal for a relaxing walk.

Kotor

At the end of the bay, the oldest town in Montenegro. Fought over for centuries, its cultural heritage is particularly rich. The Old Town (Stari Grad), part of UNESCO’s World Heritage, is a maze of cobbled streets, picturesque squares, and historic monuments. Among the most remarkable are the Place d’Armes, the Saint-Tryphon Cathedral, the Doges’ Palace, and Saint-Jean fortress, offering one of the most spectacular views of the entire bay.
