- Perast - Enjoy a panoramic view
- Our Lady’s Temple of Prcanj - This stop includes a visit to the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Prčanj, also known as Our Lady’s Temple of Prčanj.
Visitors have about 10 minutes to explore and take photos. A long stone staircase from the square in front of the church leads up to the church. Climbing a bit offers a stunning view of the Bay of Kotor, perfect for photos.
The church is a significant religious structure in the Bay of Kotor. Construction began in 1789 and took over 120 years, finally completing in 1909. Wealthy sailors and captains from Prčanj, active in Mediterranean trade during the 17th and 18th centuries, largely financed the construction.
With its large dome and monumental architecture, the church is one of the largest on the Adriatic coast and symbolizes Prčanj’s maritime history and prosperity.
-
Tre Sorelle Palace - A brief stop at House Tre Sorelle, meaning “Three Sisters,” allows for about 5 minutes to view the building and take photos.
This historic stone house, dating from the 15th century, exemplifies traditional architecture in the Bay of Kotor. Located on the coast in Prčanj, it is one of the area’s most famous historical houses.
The house is renowned for a local legend. It is said that three sisters lived here, all in love with the same sailor. The sailor promised to return and marry one of them. The sisters reportedly lived here for many years while waiting for his return. -
Lepetani - A short stop at the Church of Our Lady of the Angels, near the Verige Strait, lasts about 10 minutes for enjoying the view and taking photos.
The Verige Strait, one of the narrowest points of the Bay of Kotor, connects the inner bay with the outer part leading to the Adriatic Sea. This strategic location played a significant role in the bay’s history.
The name “Verige” means “chains” in German. Historically, chains were stretched across this strait.
In the distance, the area around Perast and the two famous islands, Our Lady of the Rocks and St. George, are visible.
Take advantage of this brief stop to enjoy the view and capture photos of this special point in Kotor Bay. -
Porto Montenegro - A stop in Porto Montenegro, a modern luxury marina in Tivat, offers about 20 to 30 minutes of free time to explore the harbor, stroll, or enjoy a drink at one of the cafes.
Porto Montenegro was developed on the site of the former Arsenal naval shipyard, established during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the 19th century and later used by the Yugoslav Navy.
After the shipyard’s closure in the early 2000s, a major international development project began in 2007, transforming the area into a modern marina for large yachts and superyachts.
Today, Porto Montenegro is one of the Mediterranean’s most renowned luxury marinas. -
Тврђава Тројица - A stop at Trojica Mountain offers a few minutes to enjoy the panoramic view over the entire Bay of Kotor and take photos.
From this vantage point, the old town of Kotor, the inner bay, and the surrounding mountains are visible. The dramatic landscape, with steep mountains rising directly from the sea, contributes to the Bay of Kotor’s status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Nearby is the Trojica Fortress, known in Montenegrin as Tvrđava Trojica. Built in the 19th century during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the Bay of Kotor was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and served as an important military and naval base. -
Lustica - A brief stop at one of the submarine tunnels in the Bay of Kotor, built during Yugoslavia in the 20th century, served as military hideouts for submarines and smaller naval vessels.
The tunnels, constructed directly into the coastal rocks, were part of the Yugoslav Navy’s military infrastructure. Their discreet exterior made them ideal for hiding submarines and protecting them from potential air or sea attacks.
Inside, the tunnel provided shelter for several ships simultaneously. Additionally, boats could be maintained, prepared, or quickly hidden in emergencies. The bay’s strategic location offered natural protection due to its narrow approaches and high mountains.
- Mamula Island - View the island of Mamula, a small island at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor, between the Luštica peninsula and the Croatian coast near Prevlaka.
The island hosts a 19th-century fortress built during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, named after General Lazarus von Mamula, the governor of Dalmatia at the time.
The fortress was part of a defensive system for the Bay of Kotor’s entrance. Its strategic location allowed control over access to the bay. The fortress’s circular shape is distinctive, making the island easily recognizable from afar.
During World War II, when Italy occupied the region, the fortress on Mamula was used as a prison and internment camp.
-
Blue Grotto - Arrive at the Blue Grotto, a renowned natural attraction on Montenegro’s coast. Located on the Luštica peninsula near the Bay of Kotor’s entrance, it is accessible only by water.
The Blue Grotto is famous for its bright blue water.
The cave is approximately 9 meters high and 45 meters deep. Its large opening allows boats to enter, enabling visitors to experience the impressive light reflections up close.
However, swimming does not occur directly in the Blue Grotto but later in the Blue Lagoon, a tranquil area with very clear water. There, visitors can swim and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
