 This resort together with its surroundings: Dobrota, Prcanj, Muo, Perast and Risan are the most attractive towns of great historical value, not only in the Boka Kotorska bay, but in whole Montenegro! For those who wants to spend their holidays in these places we have prepared some information.

So, the pros and cons of recreation in Kotor and its suburbs:

Pros

1. Certainly one of the most beautiful fjords in the world - the Bay of Kotor, with the old town of Kotor, is the world's cultural and historical heritage, protected by UNESCO

2. Due to the mountains and bordered by the sea water, these places have their own microclimate, a beneficial effect for people suffering from pulmonary disease and asthma

3. Needless to say the stay here is an unforgettable tour. All tourists have to visit at least the old Kotor, and if possible better to include in the trip a stop in Perast and its islands St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks

4. Kotor has a developed tourism infrastructure, which is not true of the neighboring cities satellites

5. Sufficient number of restaurants and cafes, as well as a wide range of car rental in Kotor

6. Prices for accommodation is similar to Tivat and Herceg Novi. Meal prices in Kotor are the same as in Budva, in other cities of the Gulf are on average 20% lower

7. Well developed suburban and intercity transport network, many taxi firms

8. There is nightlife - popular night club Maximus is located in the heart of the old town of Kotor

9. Own marina (port) allows you to rent a yacht or boat in Kotor

If there are pros, then there must be some cons

1. There are no beaches in Kotor,they are in the neighboring Dobrota, but you need to dive off the pier / road straight into the sea. In other cities ther are small pebble beaches, or people swim form the piers.

2. As in all of Boca it is an indoor section of the sea, so the water may not always be clean In addition, there is always cruising cruise liners.

3. Because of the "mountain ring" around the Boka Bay sunny day are shorter than in the rest of the country, as the sun hides behind the mountains.

4. Besides that, in other cities of the bay there are difficulties in the tourism industry - there is no place to book a group tour or take a car. Although individual excursion can be booked via the Internet.

5. Except Kotor there is  no nightlife, and no place to go for a walk. It is good that every 20 minutes pass shuttle buses.
