Balkan coast – no better start than Kotor
Kotor – or Cat-or as you cannot help but notice the high population of felines. A real jem. And not just the town, the setting, too. Set on a large fjord. A steep climb up from the town, through the old fortifications, leads to some battlements with extensive views back down over the town with the fjord behind.
The town itself has great protective walls, beautiful buildings, arches and fine details. Venetian influence evident at most turns. We managed a room in the middle of the old town, which made returning to our room at night a delight. It also meant we spent the late afternoon and evening exploring town, while it was free of the large groups that had swarmed through during the day.
