Day 1: Kotor - Perast - Herceg Novi

The Bay of Kotor in seven days

The route starts in wonderful Kotor. After a short walk over the city, go to the marina in order to discuss all the details of the voyage with the base manager. You’ll have enough time left to check up all equipment and buy any required food.

Kotor

Kotor is located in the secluded part of the Boka Kotorska Bay, between the shoreline and the Lovćen mountain range. It’s much more interesting to arrive here by sea than by land as the bay itself has long been recognized as one of the most beautiful places in all of Europe, competing only with the Norwegian fjords. There are hundreds of yachts gracefully crossing the bay, and passengers enjoy wonderful landscapes all the way to Kotor.

There are also reasons to go ashore, for example, the historical center of Kotor listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the City Gates, the Prince’s Palace, the Clock Tower, the Grgurina Palace, the Cathedral of St Tryphon – all that connected by the enchanting maze of narrow city streets. Don’t be afraid to lose your way in Kotor – a little wandering can lead to discovering architecture fraught with invariable charm and magic. Nourish your senses further in any of the local restaurants, ordering authentic Montenegrin dishes or seafood.

Herceg Novi

Herceg Novi was once known as Castelnuovo – meaning “new castle” in Italian. Today it’s known by several other beautiful names like, “The botanical gardens of Montenegro” or “the city of steps and stairways. The city is located at the entrance to the Boka Kotorska Bay, by the foot of the Orjen mountain range. Travelers come here to walk along the streets of the Old Town, see the Spanish Fort and the Orthodox Monastery of Savina, as well as visit the Mediterranean health and visitor center at the Institute Igalo. Mineral springs, therapeutic mud, clean air and various physiotherapeutic treatments are a Montenegrin recipe for rejuvenation.

Besides treatments and sights, there are wonderful opportunities for diving in Herceg Novi – you can explore shipwrecks not far from the shore! And as if you needed another reason to visit, Herceg Novi even hosts a Mimosa Festival in the winter, attracting numerous tourists. What more could you want?
