Kotor has many stories to tell, from its ancient Roman beginnings to its Middle Ages struggles when Goths, Saracens and Serbians fought over ownership of the city. The influence of the Venetians is evident to this day. With a history like this, it’s no surprise that Kotor has earned a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The port of Kotor finds its home on Europe’s southernmost fjord – otherwise known as the ‘Bride of the Adriatic’. It’s one of the most beautiful places in the Adriatic.
