The adventure

There’s no better way to catch a sunset than over the water in Kotor — and if you’re going to do it, why not go big? While you're at it, swing by the jaw-dropping Ostrog Monastery, dramatically carved into a vertical cliffside, and hang out in the highest inhabited spot in the Balkans. Medieval towns, epic landscapes, and new travel buddies — what more could you want from a seven-day adventure in the Balkans? Trust us, this trip is one for the books.

Arrive at any time. Head out tonight with your fellow travellers to Kotor's old town. Make new friends as you explore the beautiful medieval architecture.

Set off to explore Kotor today by land and by sea. Immerse yourself in the beautiful landscape with a hike to the Kotor Fortress; there's no better way to connect with the region. Snap photos of the beautiful vistas before heading down for free time for lunch. Later in the afternoon, work on your sea legs with a sunset boat tour of the Bay of Kotor, passing several small islands and historical sites and visit the old town of Perast before returning to Kotor for the night.
