Montenegro is a small country, famous for its beautiful coast line and magnificent towering mountains. With a population of just under 700,000 people it might not be on your radar yet but that is all about to change. Where is Montenegro? It is nestled along the Balkan Peninsula along the Adriatic Sea. The charming city of Kotor which sits next to the stunning blue bay of Kotor was rightly so voted one of Lonely Planets ‘Best in Travel’ winners for 2016. Inside the fortified walls of the old city lies a maze of small lanes, boutique shops, quaint coffee houses and restaurants tempting you in with both local and international flavours. A popular destination for cruise boats to dock I highly recommend visiting early morning or later afternoon to try and avoid the crowds. Attempting to take the hike to the fortress in the mid-day heat for the panoramic views of the bay from below is futile (trust me, I tried!) Also, keep an eye out for all the stray cats that call this city home, you won’t be able to miss them.
