Sightseeing
Small town 15-20 minutes by car from Kotor with such a rich history. Wonderful old buildings and the best view from the man-made island with the famous church Our Lady of the Rocks. You can find small boats along the coast to take you there for 5€ per person.

The best view of Kotor you'll ever find. You can only get there by car (or possibly on an organized tour) and the drive is a tiny bit dangerous since the road is narrow. The best photo stops are somewhere between the 9th and 10th curve (you'll see some rocks on the left-hand side and a place to pull over on the right) and then after the last, 25th one, where there's a cafe overlooking the entire bay ( not open during the winter). After that you can go to Njeguši village to try/buy some prosciutto and cheese or possibly continue to Cetinje.

Kotor old town is just minutes away from the apartment. It's a UNESCO-protected heritage site and rightfully so. With wonderful stone buildings and cobbled streets, whatever alley you wander into, you won't be wrong :).

A tiny almost abandoned village close to St. John's fortress. Walking up to it provides you with a fantastic view of Kotor and the fortress and it takes around an hour to get there. For me at least, it's better than climbing up the fortress and it's free. You can go further up for as long as you can and then go back down the same way.

Muo, Prčanj and Stoliv are 3 small fishermen villages in Kotor bay (Prčanj being the prettiest of them). Very picturesque, with old Venetian-style houses that really take you back. Nothing better than taking a walk between the sea on one side and lovely stone houses on the other.

The area stretches 5-6km from Kamelija shopping center to the end of Kotor. There's the main road that goes through Kotor, which we call the upper road, and there's the road by the sea we call the lower road. It begins opposite the Kamelija shopping center and goes along the sea until it meets the upper road again. It's one of the best walks you can take in the bay and it takes around an hour from one end to the other.
