Kotor

Kotor, located in Montenegro, is a beautiful and historic small town with an atmospheric old city and stunning natural scenery. Many reviewers praised its charming, walkable layout where everything is nearby, and highlighted the affordability compared to other European destinations, although some noted prices in the old town can be unexpectedly high—especially for accommodation and groceries. The area is popular with tourists and can become overcrowded during peak season, so visiting in the off-season is recommended for a more relaxed experience. 

The city is rich in history and is visually captivating, making it popular with digital nomads, travelers, and artists. However, some visitors said that the town is small and can feel fully explored in just a few days. The heat in summer can also be intense, with little wind to offer relief. Transportation costs like taxis seem higher than expected for the distance. Friendliness of locals received mixed feedback, though most leaned positive.

Overall, Kotor is ideal for a short, scenic getaway, especially outside of summer. Renting a car is recommended to explore the surrounding region, which adds to the appeal of visiting this part of Montenegro.
