Kotor: Blue Cave, Lady of the Rocks & Beach Fun

Treat yourself to a full-day escapade that truly encompasses the rich biological and cultural diversity of Boka Bay. Starting from the waters of Kotor, you will enjoy a captivating trip along the magnificent coastline, which is adorned with ancient fishermen villages, lavishing vegetation, and architectural wonders. The first stop is a 20-minute visit to the legendary artificial island, Our Lady of the Rocks. Here, you can listen to the mystical story of its genesis—how seafarers honored the Holy Mother—and examine the many paintings, motives, and art pieces inside the attached museum (entry is a separate cost). As you pass through the strait of Verige, you will enter Tivat Bay, viewing the rich marina of Porto Montenegro, and make a stop at the ex-submarine military base for a unique photo opportunity.

The very exit of the Bay is guarded by the haunting Mamula Island, a fortified location brimming with gruesome stories from World War I & II. The whole adventure culminates with a nice dip inside the Blue Cave, a natural phenomenon created by waves crashing against the Lustica peninsula for thousands of years. The cave gets its name from the iridescent blue light that manifests on the water due to the sun’s radiance. Finally, you will be dropped off at Zanjice Beach to savor your time at this famous, boat-accessible attraction, where you can swim and relax before returning to Kotor.
