“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” — Anne Bradstreet======
(in Montenegro) The old town of Kotor and the Bay of Kotor are stunning places all year around. But the beauty of visiting in winter is the chance to experience a truer Kotor atmosphere. Without the summer tourists, the town is reclaimed by the locals. Strolls through the winding alleys and coffees in the sunshine are popular with folks here in winter. It’s also a great time for a quiet getaway. Because the coast rarely gets snow, it is also a good base for exploring the rest of the Montenegrin coast. Found on a beautiful bay on the coast of Montenegro, Kotor is steeped in tradition and history, with remarkable scenic views. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the old city was built between the 12th and 14th centuries and is filled with medieval architecture and historic monuments. Extending over four kilometers (2.5 mi.), city walls that have protected Kotor for centuries lead up to the fortress of Saint Ivan (also known as St. John). Clamber up the steps of this small Venetian fortress for photogenic views of the beach and the dramatic diagonal stratification of the limestone cliffs melting into the turquoise water below.
