In Kotor, travelers will step into a beautifully preserved UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled between mountains and the sea in one of the most breathtaking bays in the world.

Guests will have free time to explore the medieval Old Town, known for its maze of narrow streets, charming piazzas, and centuries-old architecture. Highlights include the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, historic palaces, artisan boutiques, and hidden cafés.

Adventurous visitors can climb the ancient city walls or hike to the San Giovanni Fortress for unbeatable views of the bay and red-roofed city below. Food lovers can indulge in fresh seafood, homemade pasta, or local wines like Vranac and Krstač in elegant waterfront settings.

On the return to Croatia, you'll visit Cavtat, a peaceful seaside town often called Dubrovnik’s elegant little sister. Walk along its scenic palm-lined promenade, where yachts float beside stone waterfront villas and cafés invite you to pause and take in the view.

Explore local highlights like the Račić family mausoleum, designed by Ivan Meštrović, or visit the house of painter Vlaho Bukovac, filled with 19th-century art and history. This town offers a perfect blend of culture, nature, and quiet sophistication.

Sip a glass of local Malvasija wine, enjoy fresh Adriatic cuisine, or simply relax by the sea—Cavtat is the ideal way to end your day, far from the crowds, in effortless style.
