Kotor, Montenegro

A trip to the Bay of Kotor and the town of Kotor is a journey into one of the most picturesque and historically rich regions of Montenegro. As you approach the Bay of Kotor, the stunning scenery immediately captures your attention. Upon arriving in Kotor, you are greeted by the sight of the well-preserved medieval town nestled at the foot of the mountains. One of the highlights of visiting Kotor is climbing the fortress walls to the top of the hill. The hike is steep and challenging, but the panoramic views of the bay and the town below are well worth the effort. As you ascend, you pass by ancient fortifications and small chapels, each offering a unique perspective of the landscape. #europetrip

Dreaming of hidden Adriatic gems?👌🌊 Loved exploring Donji Stoliv, a super chill waterfront village on Montenegro’s dreamy Bay of Kotor. If you want a slice of local life plus epic views, this spot *delivers*. Must-See Places in Donji Stoliv: 🚶♂️Grab your camera and walk the stone promenade—the bay views and old fishing boats look straight out of a postcard! This strip runs along the waterside and is lined with leafy fig trees and cute stone houses. ⛪ Pop by St. Mary’s Church (Crkva Svete Marije), right near the water. It’s often open early mornings and weekends (typically 9:00–12:00, but call ahead if you want inside access). 🍦 Hit up Plaza Stoliv Café (Obala bb, Donji Stoliv) for morning coffee, fresh pastries, or rich homemade ice cream with the best view around. 🦀 Dip into the tiny pebble beaches. Less crowded, perfect for early swims, and locals say the water’s warmest by mid-afternoon. Insider tips: Early mornings are magic—the bay is glassy and quiet, and locals chat while fishing. If you’re walking along the promenade, wear good shoes (some stones are slippery after rain!). Don’t rush—sit at a café for at least one hour and just watch the boats drift by. Getting Around: Best done on foot! Stoliv is super walkable. The nearest bigger town is Kotor (15 min by public bus); ask at any café for up-to-date bus times. Food vibes: Try local seafood at Konoba More—grilled fish and squid are musts, especially when paired with fresh local bread. Destination Tips: Cash is king in village cafés. English isn’t widely spoken, but locals love a friendly “Dobar dan!” Weather is mild spring to autumn, but check ahead if you want to swim! #MontenegroMagic #BayOfKotor #TravelLocal #HiddenEurope
