Kotor — 6 nights

Bride of the Adriatic Sea
Perched on the edge of a fjord-like bay rimmed by rugged mountains, Kotor grew around a medieval settlement purposely built like a maze.Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Church of Our Lady of the Rocks and St. Tryphon Cathedral. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Miločer Park and Perast Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Kotor: Plavi Horizonti Beach (in Radovići), Lovćen National Park (in Cetinje) and Bečići Beach (in Bečići). And it doesn't end there: pause for some serene contemplation at Church of St. Eustachius, explore the activities along Bay of Kotor, take a tour of Porto Montenegro, and explore the historical opulence of Grubonja Palace.
