Towns & Cities
A medieval town between the mountains and the deep-blue Bay of Kotor.
About
Kotor sits at the innermost reach of its dramatic bay, where limestone mountains rise almost directly from the water. Within the UNESCO-listed cultural landscape, its walled Old Town preserves a lively mix of medieval lanes, Venetian architecture and maritime history.
