8Kotor, Montenegro

Nestled along the Adriatic Sea, Kotor is one of Montenegro’s most picturesque and tranquil towns. Surrounded by mountains and offering stunning views of Kotor Bay, this medieval town is a UNESCO World Heritage site that has retained much of its original charm.

Kotor’s old town, filled with narrow alleyways, stone buildings, and historic churches, invites you to take leisurely strolls while exploring its hidden nooks and crannies. Unlike some other coastal destinations in Europe, Kotor remains relatively undiscovered, making it perfect for a peaceful retreat. Take a boat ride on the bay, hike up to the fortress for breathtaking views, or simply relax in one of the cozy cafes that line the streets.
