Kotor as a cruise port

- When you get to the cruise port, there is a poorly signposted office on the left hand side. You can buy the hop-on-hop-off bus tickets, it cost us 20 euros each. The bus is just through the gates.

- The bus tour takes you about 30mins along the coast ( passed the Catholic church – just a day late!), and you go to a mosaic museum for 15mins… I elected to go to the supermarket instead!

- You then hop back on the bus, and head along the coast and get off the bus at Perast. Here you walk about a ¼ mile down the road til you hit the waterfront. You can wander around here, have a coffee. Then you go on a boat to the little island with the church – you just get in a random boat, pay the guys 5 euros... And go! When you’ve done that, wander back up the hill, hop back on the next bus and go into Kotor. I’d say all in it took about 2.5hrs.

So not much hopping at all!

In Kotor after the bus trip, I’d go for lunch, we ate at Astoria which is a little place in a square off to the right when you enter the walls. Supposedly one of the best restaurants in Kotor is the Konoba Scala Santa… best fish soup ever! A cruise editor I know was on board Princess with us, and he had lunch there, so I think I'll try there next time!

After lunch, have a wander around the shops, we didn’t have time, but there were lots which caught my eye!

The last tip is to plan what time you get back to the ship, and what time dinner is.... you cruise through a beautiful fjord before hitting the sea - we sat on the top deck with lobster and cocktails as the sun set. #unbeatable
