Kotor Above Clouds
Absolutely authentic must-do hike above the Old Town of Kotor: a taste of history, local food, and drinks included.
Overview:
This tour will start in the Old Town of Kotor, from where you will follow an old trail up to the mountain; the trail that was in the old days the only connection of Kotor to the rest of inland Montenegro. This scenic path gently zigzags above the old town and in 45 minutes you will come to a stone terrace with an incredible view of the bay. Here, you will take a break, and relax while tasting homemade cheese and pomegranate or wild orange juice.
