Visit the Arms square, where the clock tower is located. Then proceed to the Flour square to find important and beautiful palaces. See the 12th century cathedral of St. Tryphon, the biggest attraction in old town. Next, find out about the Brotherhood of the Seaman of Boka in the Maritime Museum square.

You will get to see the old Karampana Fountain after you arrive in the Greek square, where the only 2 orthodox churches are located. Finish your walk back in the Arms square about 1.5-hours later. This tour introduces visitors to the history of the town and its glory days of the past centuries.
