Description

Did you know that Kotor is a town filled with fascinating stories and legends? Every part of the town, from the stone-paved streets to the palaces that grace its surroundings, has a beautiful tale to tell. The rich history of Kotor runs parallel to its diverse culture, as it has been ruled by various conquerors throughout the ages, including Illyrians, Byzantines, Venetians, Austrians, and French. After such a dynamic historical period, it is not surprising that Kotor boasts an extraordinary cultural and historical wealth, blending the influences of these powerful civilizations and eras. When we think of Kotor, we often think of its neighboring settlement, Perast. Over the centuries, Perast stood as the first line of defense against enemies. Despite the dramatic conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and Venice, which were particularly fierce in this region, the town continued to flourish culturally and architecturally. The construction of luxurious palaces, chapels, and churches, along with the importation of works of art and a vibrant literary scene, are evidence of an intense industry that surpassed the town's size and population. Our Lady of the Rocks is an artificial island created in the 15th century as a monument to the sailors from Perast. Beneath Our Lady of the Rocks lie 196 shipwrecks, a testament to the bravery of Perast sailors who defended Kotor against the Ottoman and Venetian empires. Budva, with a history dating back over 2,500 years, stands as one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast. Enclosed by Venetian walls, the old town showcases ancient churches and medieval buildings. However, Budva has transformed into the capital of Montenegrin tourism today, becoming the most visited town on the Montenegrin coast throughout the summer. Its harmonious blend of ancient stories with luxurious yachts, restaurants, bars, sandy beaches, and vibrant nightlife makes Budva a unique and popular destination.
