Kotor: The first on a list of The 30 most beautiful places in the World

Another great news for Kotor: According to the famous Timeout magazine, Kotor took first place on a list of The 30 most beautiful places in the world!

Choosing the world’s most beautiful places is no easy task. After all, how can you compare a thundering waterfall to a lantern-lit city? Or a rainbow-colored hill to a gleaming white mosque? We can now read about the magnificent thirty thanks to Timeout and its travel editor Grace Beard.

And what are they saying about Kotor, as a first on a list?
“In Montenegro, the Adriatic Sea slaloms through narrow passages in the steep Dinaric Alps to form the Bay of Kotor. Here, squeezed between water and rock, is the triangular, medieval Old Town of Kotor, with its gravity-defying fortress zigzagging up the steep cliffs above.

Although it’s possible to climb the fortress steps from town, I prefer to wander the winding shepherd’s trail on the fortress’ northern flank. It’s here, amid the ruins of a deserted, roadless village, that you can munch on homemade sheep’s cheese and rye bread at the last inhabited farmhouse overlooking the bay’s glassy, obsidian water.”

Kotor is a historical and natural beauty along the Adriatic Sea coastline. Few places leave you breathless at first sight, and Kotor is one of them. Wedged between brooding mountains and a moody corner of the bay, the Kotor is perfectly at one with its setting.

Hemmed in by staunch walls snaking improbably up the surrounding slopes, the town is a medieval maze of museums, churches, cafe-strewn squares, and Venetian palaces and pillories.

Kotor is a great place to visit and an excellent choice if you plan to buy a property. If you are still thinking about Kotor as a new destination to live in, you can read some interesting facts HERE.
