Kotor Port Guide | Virgin Voyages

Overview

The journey *is* the destination. Your ship will sail 17 miles into the Bay of Kotor, a fjord-like ribbon of blue water surrounded by towering, sheer-black mountains. It's one of the most beautiful sail-ins on Earth. Youll dock right at the walls of Kotors Old Town, a UNESCO-listed, perfectly preserved triangular town. Get lost in its maze of narrow, medieval streets, where churches, cats, and hidden piazzas are on every corner. For the ultimate, leg-burning challenge, climb the 1,355 steps up the "Ladder of Kotor" to the fortress of San Giovanni for an unforgettable, view.
