- HIGHLIGHTS
Kotor
Kotor, nestled at the foot of majestic mountains along the Adriatic coast, is a stunning blend of history and natural beauty. Kotor old town features narrow, winding streets, ancient stone walls, and charming squares that echo centuries of maritime heritage. The striking Cathedral of Saint Tryphon and the impressive fortifications that rise above the town offer breathtaking views of the Bay of Kotor, often regarded as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. As you stroll along the waterfront, savoring local cuisine and vibrant culture, Kotor reveals itself as a captivating gem that enchants every visitor with its rich history and picturesque scenery.
Perast
Perast, a small town nestled along the shores of the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, is a hidden gem that seems frozen in time. With its rich history and stunning scenery, it stands as a picturesque reminder of a bygone era. The town’s charm lies in its Venetian architecture, narrow stone streets, and the serene waters of the Adriatic that gently lap against its shores. Perast is framed by the dramatic peaks of Montenegro’s mountains, creating a striking contrast with the deep blue of the bay. This charming town is adorned with elegant Baroque palaces, ancient churches, and old stone houses, each whispering stories of the town’s past as a bustling maritime center. The silhouette of the bell tower of St. Nicholas Church rises above the town, offering breathtaking views to those who climb to its top. Perhaps the most captivating feature of Perast is its two enchanting islets—Our Lady of the Rocks and St. George. The artificial island of Our Lady of the Rocks is adorned with a church of the same name, filled with beautiful frescoes and maritime artifacts. Legend has it that the island was created by sailors who laid a rock in the bay after returning from each successful voyage, turning the site into a symbol of hope and gratitude. St. George, on the other hand, is a natural island crowned by a centuries-old Benedictine monastery and surrounded by cypress trees, shrouded in an aura of mystery and tranquility. Time seems to move slower in Perast. The quiet, unhurried atmosphere, coupled with the gentle breeze from the bay, invites you to wander its cobblestone streets, savor a meal of fresh seafood at a waterfront café, or simply sit by the water and watch the boats drift by. As the sun sets, the town is bathed in golden light, casting a magical glow over the bay and the surrounding mountains.
Mussel and Oyster Farm
Nestled in the tranquil waters of Montenegro’s Boka Bay, mussel and oyster farms thrive, blending tradition with natural beauty. These farms are a testament to the rich marine life and the pristine conditions of the bay, where mussels and oysters grow slowly, absorbing the unique flavors of the Adriatic. Sheltered by steep, lush mountains, the farms benefit from the bay’s unique blend of freshwater and saltwater, which gives the shellfish a delicate, briny taste that’s distinct to this region. Visiting these farms offers a glimpse into a time-honored craft, where the art of cultivation harmonizes with the rhythm of nature, producing some of the finest, freshest shellfish in the Mediterranean.- WHAT’S INCLUDED
