It is easy to move along the coast of Montenegro – frequent public minibuses run the coastal route all over the way from Ulcinj to Herzegnovi. I paid 2,50 euro for the ride to Tivat – relaxig resort in the Kotor Bay. In Tivat you will find only few monuments but it is more quite and it is easier to find less expensive accommodation here. I left my backpack in the Hotel Palma and jumped on the next minibus going to historic Kotor.
There are two routes to Kotor: first via tunnel and the second along the bay – this one I recommend. It is narrow but very picturesque coastal road which will give you many photo opportunities. Both rides cost the same: 1 euro.
Kotor – walled town built from 12th to 14th is nestled at the head of southern Europe’s longest fjord has very dramatic setting at the bottom of the mountains… There are cobbled laneways, narrow streets, little plazas with old churches and mansions. It is very atmospheric place.
On the slope above the the old town there is little fortress of St John. It took me 40 minute of climbing steep path to reach the stone barracks on the top – but it was worth the effort – the view of the fjord and the old town from the fortress is just incredibile!
