Kotor, Montenegro (located in the former Yugoslavia) was a surprisingly beautiful and interesting port. We woke up early just to watch the arrival into the port city from our verandah. The sailing into the beautiful harbor at first morning light was impressive. The steep mountains surrounding the small crescent-shaped harbor made it feel like we were passing through fiords. The sail-away at the end of the day was equally impressive and included narration from the bridge, plus an extra swing around the two tiny islands near Kotor. During our port day we visited the well-preserved medieval town inside the fortified walls of the old city. The old city houses cathedrals, family palaces, antique shops, restaurants, and shops along its narrow and winding streets. The old city entrance was within easy walking distance of the pier and proved to be a delightful stop. It is certain that this incredibly scenic destination and fascinating town will gain popularity with visitors in the coming years. The former Yugoslavia is slowly being discovered by travelers and this city will likely increase that interest. I can imagine that this city will become a destination hot-spot someday and I can certainly see myself spending an extended vacation in this area sometime in the future.
