Description

Discover Kotor's old town and Boka Bay via speedboat on this half-day guided tour. Explore Kotor's cobblestone alleys and UNESCO sites. Cruise the bay for panoramic views and swim in the Blue Cave.
Kotor Old Town is a dramatic place where the present coexists with the maze of medieval churches, cathedrals, Venetian palaces, and pillars. The town is a blend of contrasts - old squares with modern cafes, serenades and live music filling the air, footsteps echoing through narrow cobblestone alleys, and cats lazily lying under balconies adorned with wrought iron railings and petunias. It's easy to see why Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site when you stroll through its small, narrow streets that open up into charming squares. The walking tour will transport you through time, bringing legends and history to life.

Once you're ready for the next part of the journey, our guide will lead you to the City Park near Kotor's seaport. There, our friendly captain will warmly welcome you and ensure your safety and comfort for the exciting day ahead.
Our first stop will be the islet of Our Lady of the Rocks, a place where local sailors and fishermen once threw rocks to create an artificial island in honor of a miraculous icon depicting the Virgin Mary and her child. Step inside the church and museum to discover a treasure trove of Baroque art, votive tablets, and tapestries dating back to the 15th century.
Continuing our sail, we will explore Tivat Bay and marvel at Porto Montenegro, a haven for luxurious yachts and sailboats. But the real surprise awaits in Herceg Novi, where Byzantine and oriental architecture blend harmoniously.

As we pass by the Mamula, an island and fortress with a dark past but a bright future, its beauty and historical significance will leave you with a sense of awe. Likewise, the Yugoslavian submarine tunnels hidden beneath the surface will captivate your imagination.

Last but certainly not least, we will visit the Blue Cave, a hidden gem accessible only by boat. Take a swim in its royal shade of blue, letting all your worries wash away as you immerse yourself in the mesmerizing beauty of this world phenomenon.
