Kotor, Montenegro: a fjord-like bay in the Adriatic
One of the most spectacular sail-ins in the Mediterranean, and a walled old town you can explore on foot.
Kotor sits at the end of a winding bay surrounded by mountains. Be on deck for the sail-in — it's a highlight of any Adriatic itinerary.
What to do in one day
- Walk the UNESCO-listed old town, steps from the pier
- Climb the city walls to the fortress for the classic view (go early, it's steep)
- Take a boat to Perast and the Our Lady of the Rocks islet
No expensive excursion needed: the old town is right by the ship.
