Kotor Montenegro



 



Kotor is located on the Adriatic Sea & was founded in the 5th century BC.
Known for its fortification, churches, medieval old town, narrow cobblestone streets etc....so tourism is on the rise because of all of this
No kidding, free to walkabout everywhere as you soak in the history. It is now my favorite place to (re)visit


Its an UNESCO World Heritage Site


Some of the Romanesque Churches



Because it was part of the Venetian Republic (1420-1797) you have all the Venetian architecture




During World War 11.... Italy annexed the area of Kotor (1941-1943)
Very clean streets & no graffiti




Population of Kotor is around 22,000 people, so more tourists (200,000 per year) than citizens
