Kotor’s Mini Old Town

November 24, 2008

Much like Dubrovnik, Kotor’s Old Town is surrounded by a protective wall. Within the walls are narrow little alleys, charming old buildings rich with history, both Catholic and Orthodox churches, and of course restaurants and outdoor cafes. I spent a few hours wandering around the maze of streets, sat at a cafe for some prime people watching (and second hand smoke), and discovered why Montenegro is going to be the next big thing in European travel.
