5-Night Boka Bay Explorer — Kotor Inner Circuit
Route Overview
The Route
Day 1 — Kotor: Embarkation
Board at Porto Montenegro and sail immediately into the innermost bay to moor at Kotor. The medieval city walls, the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon and the lanes of the old town deserve a full evening of exploration before dinner at the excellent Galion restaurant on the waterfront.
Day 2 — Perast, Rose & Lepetane
A morning of the bay's most beautiful sights: tender ashore to Perast, out to Our Lady of the Rocks, and then a quiet anchorage off the tiny village of Rose — one of the most photographed spots in the bay, a cluster of stone houses at the foot of the mountain. In the afternoon, cross to Lepetane on the northern shore for a quieter perspective.
Day 3 — Risan & The Roman Mosaic
Sail to the northernmost point of the bay — the ancient town of Risan, site of the only Roman mosaic floor in Montenegro (remarkable for its depiction of the god Hypnos). The surrounding mountains are dramatic; the bay is at its most enclosed and fjord-like here.
Day 4 — Herceg Novi
Sail to the mouth of the bay and moor at Herceg Novi — the 'flower town' of Montenegro, covered in bougainvillea and wisteria. The Kanli Kula fortress, the old town bazaar and the famous sea-organ at the Arza fortress are highlights. Dinner at Stari Mlini restaurant in the old town mill.
Day 5 — Porto Montenegro & Final Evening
Return to Porto Montenegro for the final evening — the marina's restaurants, the Regent Pool Club and the One&Only resort are all accessible from the dock. A farewell dinner in Tivat's emerging restaurant scene.
Day 6 — Disembarkation
Farewell breakfast before disembarkation. Tivat Airport is 5 minutes away.
