Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Travelers will see one of the best preserved and most beautiful medieval fortified towns in the Mediterranean. It was built in honor of Saint Tryphon (local name Sveti Tripun), the patron and protector of the city, on the same site where an older church had already existed long ago. That earlier church was built in 809 by Andrija (Andreaccio) Saracenis, a citizen of Kotor, where the remains of the saint were kept after being brought from Constantinople (now also known as Istanbul).

Stop 2

Guest will have view of famous Bay of Kotor (Montenegrin: Бока Которска / Boka Kotorska; pronounced [bɔ̂ka kɔ̂tɔrskaː], Italian: Bocche di Cattaro) known simply as Boka ("the Bay"), is the winding bay of the Adriatic Sea in southwestern Montenegro and the region of Montenegro concentrated around the bay.

The bay has been inhabited since antiquity. Its well-preserved medieval towns of Kotor, Risan, Tivat, Perast, Prčanj and Herceg Novi, along with their natural surroundings, are major tourist attractions. Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor has been a World Heritage Site since 1979. Its numerous Orthodox and Catholic churches and monasteries make it a major pilgrimage site.
