Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

We begin with an enthralling tour of the Bay of Kotor, allowing our guests to marvel at the bay's brilliant shoreline, adorned with historic angler settlements, Mediterranean greenery, and other architectural and natural wonders.

Stop 2

Our first stop is a 20-minute visit to Our Lady of the Rocks, an amazing island. This islet, created by men on a reef bearing the icon of the Holy Mother Mary, is home to a church built by seamen and other locals.
It will be a place where visitors may listen to the fascinating story of the island's beginnings and see the countless works of art, votives, and other handcrafted items.

We reach the Bay of Tivat and travel to the former submarine tunnels after passing through the narrowest section of the Bay of Kotor - Verige.
Tunnels were a highly guarded army secret until recently, and now you may visit them and hear some incredible stories.

Stop 4

The Blue Cave, a natural wonder created by waves pounding for thousands of years near the Lustica peninsula, completes the experience. Named by the vivid blue tint caused by the sun's rays breaking through and the planktons that sparkle with every movement.
