About this experience
Cycling around Kotor bay is a phenomenal choice to explore the ancient settlements and history of the region.
The tour starts from Old town of Kotor or Tivat, where we begin the ride. During this trip you would see some unique places such as the abandoned "Tresorela" palace, which is under UNESCO heritage and the "Temple of the Holy Mother", the largest Catholic church in the region. Later you would enjoy a short ferry ride to cross the bay to the other side. Cycling to Risan and Perast for a short break and refreshment at a local bar would make you enjoy the view of the bay. Than you would have a short boat tour to visit small island with Church of Our Lady of the Rock in Perast. After that we would continue cycling to the starting point, but meanwhile you would see some historical places like Our Lady of the Angel, Verige pass and several more.
The tour is 45 km and it is all flat terrain except for one short uphill. It is mostly on the main road also used for cars, so be careful.
