Private Tour of Kotor Bay: Perast, Island Gospa od Skrpjela, Kotor from Dubrovnik

See all (3)

Summary

Your private English speaking driver will pick you up at the arranged meeting time at your hotel, private apartment or villa in the Dubrovnik area. Montenegro is always a surprise. As you move off the coast the road suddenly swoops up into the mountains and you’re in a series of amazing switch backs somehow carved out of solid rock that offer stunning sea views around one bend and pristine forest around the next. The tour of Montenegro is visually stunning. This is a country where mountains descend almost directly into the sea creating an almost surreal scene. As you are driven along the main coastal road through many small fisher villages, you’ll arrive to the town of Perast with its famous beautiful islet, called 'Gospa od Skrpjela' (Our Lady of Stone) and stop to enjoy the glorious view. Next on your list of pearls is Kotor, a UNESCO protected historic town well known for its rich history, nautical tradition and the famous merchant navy of Boka Kotorska. The tour can be extended with visit to the ancient town Budva, which today is a lively tourist resort. Before you reach Budva you will also stop along the coast to view legendary playground of the celebs - Sveti Stefan. This tiny island fortress of Sveti Stefan is Montenegro's most famous attraction which was transformed in the 1950’s into a fabled private resort for stars like Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and European royalty. Today, joined by a narrow causeway to the main road, its 5-star hotels can be enjoyed by ordinary mortals. Lunch is optional at a local restaurant in Budva.

Why take this tour?

The tour will take you to Zupa Dubrovacka and the Konavle valley all the way up to the border with Montenegro. The border road winds its way through the towns of Risan and Perast to Kotor, giving you a first-hand experience with Montenegro’s three different landscapes - bay, mountain and sea. There are very few places to compare with natural beauty of the Bay of Kotor, which is actually a fjord, often compared to the ones in Norway. The city itself is still surrounded by the well preserved medieval wall. You will have some free time to explore Kotor. The city’s historical museum is well worth a visit, or just enjoy walking the rambling narrow streets and alleys and an espresso at the many outdoor cafes.

About operator:

Head south form Dubrovnik to explore a relatively untrammeled swath of the Balkans and southern Dalmatia on this guided day trip from Dubrovnik. Cross the border into Montenegro (don't forget your passport!) and then explore Kotor, smack in the center of a dramatic fjord and then head to the walled seaside town of Budva, a combination of history, culture and beachy fun. For something a little more sedate, linger for a while in the charming islet town of Perast. On the drive back to Dubrovnik, drink in the views of the shimmering Adriatic Sea.
