1 / 10Full Day Private Tour in Montenegro Coast
About this activity
Explore Montenegro's dramatic Adriatic coastline on a full-day private tour from Dubrovnik, visiting the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor and its Venetian-era towns. This journey combines coastal scenery, medieval history, and island excursions with personalized service and flexible pacing.
The Montenegro coast is full of tiny, colourful places, that tell a historic story. Among them is the City of Kotor, one of the most beautiful and the most mysterious. On the way to the City of Kotor, while driving along the coast, pieces of history gradually open and invite us to indulge ourselves into carefree exploring. The exploring gets especially interesting, when we take a stop in the City of Perast, a city that is protected – considered as city-museum -, and decide to take a trip to two artificially created islands, the islands of St. Jurij and The lady od Škrpjel. The tiny city and the islands combined open up a range of the past – from the Neolithic to the Illyrians, the Venetian Republic to Napoleon… The Venetian buildings take over Kotor, which lies between an impressive landscape – on the side it is embraced by the so-called rias, a submerged canyon. Not to mention the local cuisine!
