This time, I visited the town of Kotor in Montenegro and joined a local water tour to explore unique attractions! These include the Former Submarine Tunnel, Mamula Island, the Blue Cave, and more! These attractions are very unique and require a boat to visit. The Former Submarine Tunnel is an underwater tunnel used to hide submarines during the Second World War. It's very interesting and unique! The second attraction is Mamula Island, which was a prison during the Second World War and has now been transformed into a luxurious hotel. A night at this hotel costs up to HKD 5000. If you're not a guest, you can't go onto the island, but it's still worth visiting nearby! The third attraction is the Blue Cave, which has incredibly blue water. The sunlight reflecting inside the cave creates a unique color! The entire water tour was booked through Get Your Guide in Europe. It's very convenient and fast! The price is 27 euros, about HKD 240. I flew to Kotor by booking a flight to Podgorica Airport, the capital of Montenegro, through Trip.com. Departing from the UK, you can also enjoy airport lounges. As a diamond member, you can enjoy two free lounge services! Download it now!

#familytrips2024 Our family trip to Kotor was a magical blend of history, nature, and togetherness. We wandered through the narrow, cobblestone streets of the old town, marveling at the medieval architecture and charming squares. The kids were fascinated by the ancient walls and towers, while we enjoyed the stunning views of the Bay of Kotor. A highlight was our hike up to the fortress, where we were rewarded with breathtaking panoramas. We savored local delicacies at quaint cafes and bonded over shared adventures, making memories to cherish forever. Next on our list is Japan. We're excited to explore its vibrant cities, serene temples, and picturesque landscapes. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the tranquil gardens of Kyoto, Japan offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity. The kids can't wait to see cherry blossoms, try authentic sushi, and maybe even spot a sumo wrestler. With its rich culture and family-friendly attractions, Japan promises to be an unforgettable destination for our next family adventure.

Kotor, a World Heritage Site in Montenegro 3.5 hours by bus from Dubrovnik 🚌 We arrived by ferry ⛴️ After a short walk from the port, we arrived at the entrance to the walled city. It's a very compact city, so you can easily get around in an hour, even if you stop by St. Tryphon Cathedral and St. Nicholas Church, or stroll through the alleys 🚶‍♀️ It seems that you can walk up the city walls, but we didn't have enough time to stay, so we gave up... (The course seems to be on the right side of the 5th photo) #Montenegro #kotop #Montenegro #Kotor

Kotor is surrounded by fortifications built during the Venetian period. It is located on the Bay of Kotor, one of the most indented parts of the Adriatic Sea. Some have called it the southernmost fjord in Europe, but it is a ria, a submerged river canyon. Together with the nearly overhanging limestone cliffs of Orjen and Lovćen, Kotor and its surrounding area form an impressive landscape. The translation of Montenegro in Chinese is Black Mountain. Indeed the city was build around the bottom part of mountains in black colour. There are a lot of small beaches alone the coast & usually have a resort, bar or restaurant next to the beach. It's an perfect place for tourist to spend their holiday in bathing under the sun. Dip into the pleasant temperature water. Except the beaches there are a lots of places & historic sites are worth to visit.

St. Tryphon's Cathedral (Katedrala sv. Tripuna) is a popular place in Kotor. It is a Catholic Church built in 1166. Its interior design is simple but very nice! You can enjoy the old town walk from here and you can go for a hike nearby, the start point is from the church. I enjoy old town so much! There are lots of cats there, so cosy and chill! Most of the places accept credit card payment or Euros.

#Overseas Travel It's time to test your leg strength again😁In Kotor, Montenegro, I climbed up the city wall and admired the charming Bay of Kotor from a high place.... The small town of Kotor itself is also very beautiful, with many well-preserved historical sites, and is also listed as one of the World Cultural Heritage Sites. About half an hour's walk from the city center, you will reach the Church of Our Lady of Remedy. There is a viewing point in front of the door where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Kotor. It just so happened that there was a large cruise ship docked at the port that day~ The blue harbor, the scenery is so beautiful👀 #Montenegro #Overseas Travel

The Old Town of Kotor is one of the few ancient towns in the Mediterranean that has preserved its complete defense system. Construction of fortifications began in the 9th century on the Hill of St. John, but the basic defensive circle was not completed until the 14th century. 📍 The landmark buildings of Kotor Old Town are the Cathdral of St. Tryphon and another larger church, St. Nichola’s Church 💡💡 It is recommended to enter through the entrances on both sides of the city wall, walk around the ancient city along the city wall, and explore the surrounding attractions. If the attraction is Kotor Bay, it is recommended to stay at least one night so that you can enjoy the old town of Kotor and its surroundings more leisurely😆😆 #Montenegro #kotor #Kotor #I miss you so much#A good place to go in the hot summer

Coming to Kotor, Montenegro, on the Balkan Peninsula, this is a coastal city that is a world cultural heritage site. In addition to sightseeing in the old town, many people also choose to climb the city wall to see the Kotor Bay from a high place. The 4.5-kilometer-long Kotor city wall surrounds the old town of Kotor. The city wall is a bit like the European version of the Great Wall. #Travel Cool Experience#Travel Beautiful Photos Beautiful Girl#Scenic Spots Photo Guide

Kotor, another spot on the Balkans that many people want to visit. It is an old city with Venetian architecture nowadays part of the Republic of Montenegro. The place is also famous with the Bay of Kotor which is very beautiful especially during dawn and dusk. The best view of the bay probably could be seen from the town of Skajari, just 2km away from Kotor. #happynewyear

The Kotor City Wall, as the best-preserved mini "Great Wall" in Europe, is a highlight of the ancient city of Kotor in Montenegro. The city wall is 15 meters wide, 20 meters high and 4.5 kilometers long, extending from the seaside to the top of the mountain, witnessing the long history and tenacious defense of the ancient city of Kotor. To visit the walls of Kotor, it is recommended to enter from the Old Town. You can choose the paid red route or the free blue route. The red route requires an 8-euro ticket, but the scenery along the way is magnificent. You can climb all the way to the top of the city wall and enjoy the beautiful views of the fjord, church bell tower, ancient city and the opposite mountains. The blue route is more friendly to the public. Although it is called a "wild road", it has been paved by predecessors and the scenery along the way is also beautiful. It is a good choice for saving budget. While climbing the city wall, you may want to stop and record this unforgettable moment with your camera. The best angle for taking photos is not at the top of the mountain, but in the middle of the city wall, so that you can capture the harmonious blend of the ancient city and nature at the same time. In addition, the best time to take photos is in the morning or evening, when the light is soft and can better highlight the vicissitudes and beauty of the city wall. In addition to the city walls themselves, there are many attractions worth visiting in the old town of Kotor, such as the Cathedral of St. Tryphon built in 1166, the ancient bell tower and various historical buildings. Most of these buildings were built between the 15th and 18th centuries, showcasing the unique style of the medieval Mediterranean region. After touring the city walls, you may want to take a break in a cafe or restaurant in the old town, taste the local food and drinks, and experience the leisurely pace of life in Kotor. In addition, Kotor has a wealth of handicraft and souvenir shops, which is a good place to buy souvenirs and experience local culture. #2月好地方2025
