Kotor Bay

Holidays to Kotor Bay

Kotor Bay is often referred to as the 'southernmost fjord', although its beauty could rival the fjords of Norway, it is, in fact, a partially submerged river valley. With sweeping mountains and charming red-roofed towns, Kotor Bay is a wonder to behold. 

Dotted with quaint towns, there's plenty to keep you busy. The main towns around the Bay are:

Kotor

Kotor is the main town on the Bay and walking through it is like walking through a fairytale. Explore its churches like St Tryphon's Cathedral or Sveti Nikola Church, say hello to the Kotor cats or hike up to San Giovanni Fortress for stunning views.

Perast

With one main street, 16 churches and 17 grand palaces, Perast resembles a miniature Venice. One of the main draws in Perast is the 'Our Lady of the Rocks', an artificial island with a 17th Century Roman Catholic Church and museum.

Dobrota

Dobrota, almost an extension of Kotor, looks out to see and is rich in maritime history. Its promenade is ideal for relaxing strolls and embracing the amazing scenery that surrounds the Bay. Many palazzos have been restored and just ooze elegance and grandeur, almost overshadowing those in Kotor and Perast. 

Prčanj

Once a key maritime town along the Adriatic, Prčanj is now one of the smaller towns along the Bay. Its most impressive piece of architecture is the Bogorodicin Hram Church which took 120 years to complete. Staying here, you'll have fantastic views of Kotor and the scenery that surrounds it.
