Hiking trails go up into the hills and mountains beyond, giving you the ultimate view of the Bay of Kotor from above. Be careful to pick your path if you plan on venturing to new heights- some of the trails should only be climbed by experienced hikers, but there are plenty to choose from!
Water sports activities such as kayak tours, fishing and boat tours are also dotted along the coast and are great for bringing the whole family together. The best of which is to experience a unique perspective of the bay by going on a guided kayaking or paddleboarding tour.

Food and drinks along the bay's waterfront are easy to find and very welcoming.

About the Region & Getting There
About the Bay of Kotor
The Bay of Kotor, or Boka, has been a World Heritage Site since 1979, so be assured of its captivating scenery that includes; a Venetian old town, a Fortress, Roman Mosaics, churches and a glistening cove that all culminate to provide guests with an exceptional holiday destination.
Sailing through the fjord you will notice the Orjen Mountains along the west, and the Lovćen Mountain range curling around the east, which outline this spellbinding landscape. As you enter through the bay you are greeted by a man-made islet that is home to Our Lady of the Rocks Church and a museum. This is the first of many reminders that you are about to reach a region of Montenegro that is famed for its natural scenery and poignant architecture.
The Bay of Kotor is made up of four cornerstones - Lastva, Morinj, Stoliv and the most renowned Tivat. Within these villages you are able to find iconic landmarks such as St Petka Church and St Mary’s Church, or for something a little less pious; simply enjoy Tivat Marina and Gornji Stoliv’s Olive grove & Fig orchard.
Travel inland and strap on a pair of hiking boots as you explore Lovcen National Park. Although it is about an hours drive from the Bay, it really is worth the day trip! Whether you’re travelling with a Botanists, Ecologist, Entomologist or Zoologist; they will be pleased to know that there’s an immeasurable number of species that include birds, insects, bears, wolves and some breath-taking flora & fauna.
We urge holidaymakers to make the most of Kodor! This charming town has everything you need to forget the day-to-day tribulations of home life. Not only does this small medieval refuge have a host of cafes & restaurants, but there are some must see attractions like the Maritime Museum, the Cats Museum of Kotor, Cats of Kotor Shop and St. John’s Hill. The perfect retreat for a family in need of sun, sea & sentiment.

The private patio, garden and pool surrounding the villa is an added room so you can bring more of the blue skies in. The property is very secure with private, gated outdoor space, plus outside video surveillance is also active.
Wi-Fi circulates the villa, and the living room boasts a smart TV, although, with so much to discover outside, you may not need to find the remote.
When they are not diving into the pool, the children will love the table tennis table and will give you the opportunity to teach them a trick or two. Babysitting is available for those who wish to sneak off to enjoy a romantic moment by the waters. This service is dependent on availability so enquire early so as not to miss out.
Outside the villa, there is an abundance to keep the little ones entertained. Boat tours, hiking, kayaking and splashing in the sea will unite all the family. With the layers of history, this region has so much to learn and understand- visit the historic towns of Kotor and Budva to see how the past has been converted into the modern world.
Why not take a day trip to Aquapark Budva, which has fun water-based activities for the whole family. With 53 children's attractions, it's bound to keep them busy and happy all day. Thrillseekers will love zooming along the high-energy water slides. Younger children can enjoy their dedicated pool and some gentle water slides.
