Detailed itinerary

Our journey begins from Dubrovnik, accompanied by a skilled driver guide who speaks English fluently. This experienced guide will accompany us throughout the entire trip, ensuring that we have a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Journey will take us past the town of Cavtat and the Konavle region before we cross the border into Montenegro (remember to bring your passports). Driving along the stunning Kotor Bay, which is Europe's most southern fjord, we will pass through the towns of Igalo and Herceg Novi, known for their impressive Turkish and later Venetian fortresses. Continuing our drive, we will encounter Bijela and Kamenari before making a brief stop in front of the enchanting city of Perast. Perast is famous for its seafaring history and is home to two small islands with picturesque churches, namely St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks/Gospa od Škrpjela.

Upon arrival at Kotor, enjoy free time to explore on your own. The town of Kotor is famous for its nautical tradition, famous commercial fleet, and imposing city walls. After sightseeing, proceed towards Budva.

After visiting Kotor, we proceed towards Trojica Mountain Pass for a brief halt, offering a scenic view of Kotor and the inner section of Kotor Bay from an elevated vantage point.

Continuing our journey from Trojica and passing by Tivat International Airport, we make a stop in Tivat town at Porto Montenegro. This exclusive marina accommodates luxurious mega yachts, along with hotels, shops, restaurants, and cafes. Typically, our guests choose to enjoy their lunch here (Alternatively, guests may opt for an extended stay in Kotor and have lunch there).

Descending from Trojica and driving alongside Tivat International Airport, we make a stop in the town of Tivat at Porto Montenegro. This exquisite mega yacht marina boasts luxurious hotels, shops, restaurants, and cafe bars. It is customary for our guests to have lunch here (should they prefer, guests can extend their stay in Kotor and have lunch there).

Leaving Tivat, we embark on a brief 15-minute ferry ride across Kotor Bay before proceeding towards one of the two borders with Croatia (our driver always aims to choose the border with the least traffic). Once we have crossed the border, it takes approximately 40 minutes to reach your hotel in Dubrovnik.

Total duration includes travel time.
