Kotor

Kotor is a coastal town in Montenegro located in a most secluded part of Gulf of Kotor. The old Mediterranean port of Kotor, surrounded by an impressive city wall built by Republic of Venice and the Venetian influence remains dominant among the architectural influences. The Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), one of the most indented parts of the Adriatic Sea is sometimes called the southern-most fjord in Europe (though it is actually a submerged river canyon). With the nearly overhanging limestone cliffs of Orjen and Lovcen one of the great Mediterranean landscapes is created.
In recent years, Kotor has seen a steady increase in tourists attracted by both the natural beauty of the Gulf of Kotor and the old town of Kotor itself.
Kotor is a major tourist destination. It has one of the best preserved medieval old towns in the Adriatic, listed with UNESCO world heritage sites. It has numerous other sights, such as Cathedral of Saint Tryphon in the old town (built in 1166), and ancient walls which stretch 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) directly above the city. Sveti Dorde and Gospa od Škrpijela islets off the coast of Perast are also among more popular destinations in Kotor vicinity.
The Old town is filled with bars, restaurants and cafes, and there are many nightclubs in Kotor. Music is piped into the streets of the old town by huge loudspeakers outside most of the bars and cafes.
