Our first stop was Budva, which was described to us as the “Miami of Montenegro” – full of oligarch’s yachts and tanned women taking pouting selfies. It felt over-touristy. But that was the only disappointing stop of the day (and I guess not disappointing if you like that kind of thing).
Kotor was a highlight. An absolutely beautiful, ancient village which has been written about since before the time of Homer (apparently it used to be a Greek city). This is one of the things that amazes me about travelling in Europe – it’s the incredible history. Just the fact that people have been living in Kotor for so many centuries is a wonderful thing to me. It’s one of the steep villages with gorgeous views if you’re prepared to climb to the top.
