Creator's Key Takeaways

Kotor Montenegro was one of my favorite Port stops on my Regent 7 Seas cruise from Venice to Athens

we drove directly up 27 switchbacks to the top of the mountain and R treated to Glorious views not only of the Kotor Bay but over the mountains

it was a somewhat excruciating hike over very uneven surfaces with no handrails they charged $8 to hike up there so it would have been nice to put some of that money into safety on the path

the views looking down on the old town and the Kotor Bay were spectacular and I did enjoy watching this cat bouncing on the wall and taking in the views

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take an early excursion to maximize time in port
βœ“Leave the tour group to explore more on your own
βœ“Be cautious on the hike to St John's Fortress due to poor maintenance

YouTube Video Description↓

Kotor, Montenegro was my favorite stop on the Regent Seven Seas cruise from Venice to Athens. The video is an overview of Kotor, including an excursion up the switchback to the top of the mountain, a visit to the city of Cetinje, a drive through Budva, the walled city, or Old Town Kotor, and a hike up toward St John's Fortress. Kotor is a beautiful city and an underrated European City. @seniorsolotravel Senior Solo Travel Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 REGENT SEVEN SEAS CRUISE VENICE TO ATHENS VIDEOS: Slovenia pre-cruise land package: Ljubljana: https://youtu.be/NU0Dwk6HC3s Bled Castle and Lake Bled: https://youtu.be/qWdIy1f8vwA Postojna Caves: https://youtu.be/3c9doPY326g Venice to Athens Port Stops: Ancona Italy: https://youtu.be/2rhbHz3RE0g Dubrovnik, Croatia: https://youtu.be/g6d30Ru0YU0 Kotor, Montenegro: https://youtu.be/yYADdD_8rhE Corfu, Greece: https://youtu.be/Ht19HkxTwX0 Rhodes, Greece: https://youtu.be/PjSsGx0p2QU Bodrum, Turkey: https://youtu.be/Ges63LP_dHc Ephesus/Kusadasi: https://youtu.be/3Qx_ROIsZdQ Syros, Greece: https://youtu.be/x11QI8v25Vo Athens, Greece: https://youtu.be/IZWPZLm613Q For senior travelers, the old town is very walkable and accessible, with a few rises in elevation. I would not advise the hike up to the Fortress because of the quality of the path. The city of Centinje was lovely. There are several museums, so you could spend a day there. For solo travelers, it is easy to explore the Old Town on your own. The excursions up the mountain and to Centinje and Budva would require reserving a motorcoach tour. @seniorsolotravel
