My table mates and I shared a cab tour that was available off ship. The driver took us to a scenic outlook that gave us a spectacular view. When then went on a scenic drive to Persat. Our driver stopped there and offered us a trip on a boat (5 euros each) to the lady of the rock island. We went and loved it! The ride was smooth and the church a neat little place. We then had time on our own and we explored the small town. After he took us back to the port. We then went into Kotor via the North Sea gate. We walked along the little streets and ended up at this cafe across from the Nautical Museum. The cafe had the most delicious hand made freshly baked bread which we paired with mozzarella and tomatoes with oil. For a quirky stop we went to the cat museum (1 euro) and Georgia bought a wonderful little bag at a nearby store. (Side note: most places only took cash) After a great day in port I went on deck to watch us sail away. The view is not to be missed especially as the sun begins to set.

About Kotor, Montenegro
This natural harbor on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro was an important artistic and commercial center with famous masonry and iconography schools in the Middle Ages. A large number of its monuments, among which four Romanesque churches and the town walls, were heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1979 but the town is now completely restored.

Write A Port TipAfter sailing through the Adriatic version of the fiords we arrived at the place where the ship dropped anchor and took a tender boat to the jetty. It was a short walk into Kotor old town. A beautiful place full of meandering streets with very old buildings. The castle is worth a visit if you can manage the steep walk up to the entrance. Not a walk to be done in the heat of the summer though. There are plenty of places to visit in Kotor. We were however disappointed with a trip out to see an ancient mosaic about an hour drive from Kotor . Although the scenery was fantastic the mosaic was a big disappointment. What looked quite sizeable in the brochure turned out to be about a foot square! Overall a lovely place to visit and we could have spent a lot more time in Kotor. Get you picture taken sitting on the oversized chair just outside the town walls!
It's worth waking up early to view the scenery on the way into the port

By far the most beautiful port. Get outside and enjoy the view as the ship arrives & leaves the port.
