This was 7 am in Kotor bay from our room. When arriving by cruise you would need to set your alarm early to watch the ship glide through the Fjord like mountains. The towering limestone cliffs are unreal. The Kotor Montenegro cruise port is in southern Europe on Montenegro\u2019s Adriatic coast, in the Bay of Kotor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:64.44268%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1707\" data-id=\"449\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7045-2\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7045-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7045-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:35.55732%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1612\" data-id=\"450\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7270-3\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7270-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7270-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1462\" data-id=\"448\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a6954-2\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A6954-2-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A6954-2-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The old city of Kotor is a UNESCO world heritage site and fortified.

The town is dedicated to cats and you will find many \u201cCats of Kotor\u201d souvenirs.

We only made it up half way the sun was extremely hot and we did not bring enough water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.11812%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"631\" data-id=\"242\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7253\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/c47bb-482a7253.jpg\" data-width=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/c47bb-482a7253.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:49.88188%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"634\" data-id=\"228\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7252\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/5f8ee-482a7252.jpg\" data-width=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/5f8ee-482a7252.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We then grabbed a taxi and headed to the quaint village of <strong>Perast<\/strong>. Perast lies beneath the hill of St. Ilija and overlooks the Verige strait, the narrowest part of the Bay of Kotor. Near Perast there are two islets and you can see these from the ship, one is called St. George and the other Our lady of the rocks with a picturesque chapel. They are the only artificially-built island in the Adriatic. Legends states that sailors placed a rock each time they returned and finally this Island was erected. This was beautiful spot and we got caught in heavy rain on our way back. But the views were spectacular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:57.08040%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1303\" data-id=\"454\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7142\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7142-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7142-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:42.91960%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1735\" data-id=\"455\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7177\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7177-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7177-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:48.99495%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1567\" data-id=\"461\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7231-2\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7231-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7231-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:51.00505%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1505\" data-id=\"456\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7205\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7205-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7205-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:27.65367%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1337\" data-id=\"457\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7206\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7206-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7206-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:23.50677%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1575\" data-id=\"458\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7207\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7207-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7207-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:28.17659%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1312\" data-id=\"459\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7214\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7214-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7214-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:20.66296%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1794\" data-id=\"462\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/index.php\/2020\/04\/11\/2020-4-8-kotor-montenegro\/482a7237\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7237-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thetravelstories.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/482A7237-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VIEW ON ARRIVAL We were rewarded with this wonderful view of Kotor Bay early morning arriving into Kotor.
