Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Scenic drive along the Bay of Kotor passing villages Bijela, Kamenari, Verige (photo-stop), Morinj, and Risan before arrival in Perast. The guide explains the history of Montenegro, its culture, people, customs, food, and wine.
2
Short photo-stop at the viewpoint near Perast. Marvel at the stunning scenery of Kotor Bay with the islands of Saint George and Our Lady of the Rocks in front.
3
Upon arrival in Kotor, once an independent city-state, and from the 14th century under Venetian influence, you will have time to explore its narrow streets, sunny squares, and churches, followed by time for lunch (optional).
We recommend entering Saint Tryphon Cathedral, Saint Nicolas Orthodox Church (free), and climbing Kotor town walls at Kampana Tower (free)
4
Climb up the Hercegovacka Gracanica hill for great panoramic views of the whole town of Trebinje area, Friars' field, Trebisnjica River, and Leotar mountain in the back.
Enter the church of the Holy Annunciation (free) and marvel at the ceiling frescoes and huge golden chandeliers.
5
Your guide will explain how the city of Trebinje grew over the centuries. Visit the Old Town of Trebinje and its wide 19th-century Austrian alleys and squares, covered by the thick shade of Great Plane Trees. Visit the 17th-century Ottoman Turkish walled part of the city and enter through an auxiliary town gate to the Trebisnjica riverfront. Learn about the Bosnian way of life, people, customs, and its delicious food.
If you did not have lunch already, try a portion of Chevapcici (meat sticks in Pita bread with cream cheese), or taste some of the local sweets such as baklava or urmasica.
