From the square in front of the church a long stone staircase leads up to the church. If you like, you can go up a bit to enjoy a beautiful view of the Bay of Kotor and take some photos. The church is one of the most important religious structures in the Bay of Kotor. Construction began in 1789 and lasted more than 120 years until the church was finally completed in 1909. The construction was largely financed by the wealthy sailors and captains from Prčanj who were active in the Mediterranean trade in the 17th and 18th centuries. With its large dome and monumental architecture, the church is one of the largest churches on the Adriatic coast and is an important symbol of the maritime history and prosperity of Prčanj.

It is located directly on the coast in the village of Prčanj and is one of the most famous historical houses in the area. The house is famous mainly for a well-known local legend.

While waiting for his return, the sisters are said to have lived here for many years.

Here you will make a short stop at the Church of Our Lady of the Angels, located just off the Verige Strait. For this stop you will stay about 10 minutes to enjoy the view and take photos. The Verige Strait is one of the narrowest points of the Bay of Kotor, connecting the inner part of the bay with the outer part that leads to the open Adriatic Sea. Because of this strategic location, this place played an important role in the history of the bay. The name “Verige” means “chains” in German. According to historical traditions, chains were stretched across this strait in the past In the distance you can also see the area around Perast as well as the two famous islands Our Lady of the Rocks and St. George.

Here you will stop in Porto Montenegro, a modern luxury marina in the town of Tivat. Here you usually have about 20 to 30 minutes of free time to explore the harbour, go for a walk or have a drink in one of the cafes. Porto Montenegro was built on the site of the former Arsenal naval shipyard. This shipyard was originally established during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the 19th century and later also used by the Yugoslav Navy. After the shipyard closed in the early 2000s, a major international development project began in 2007, converting the area into a modern marina for large yachts and superyachts. Today Porto Montenegro is one of the most famous luxury marinas in the Mediterranean.

Here you will stop at Trojica Mountain, a lookout point above the town of Kotor. Here you have a few minutes to enjoy the panoramic view over the entire Bay of Kotor and take photos. From this point you can see very well the old town of Kotor, the inner part of the bay as well as the surrounding mountains. The dramatic landscape with the steep mountains rising directly from the sea is one of the reasons why the nature and cultural landscape of the Bay of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nearby is also the Trojica Fortress, known in Montenegrin as Tvrđava Trojica. This fortress was built in the 19th century during the time of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. At that time, the Bay of Kotor belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was an important military and naval base. Nearby is also the Trojica Fortress, known in Montenegrin as Tvrđava Trojica.

Here you will make a short stop at one of the submarine tunnels in the Bay of Kotor. These tunnels were built during the time of Yugoslavia in the 20th century and served as military hideouts for submarines and smaller naval vessels. The tunnels were built directly into the rocks of the coast and were part of the military infrastructure of the Yugoslav Navy. From the outside they are difficult to see, which made them an ideal place to hide submarines and protect them from possible attacks from the air or the sea. Inside, the tunnel provided protection for several ships at the same time. In addition, the boats could be maintained, prepared or quickly hidden in an emergency. The location within the bay was strategically very favorable, as the Bay of Kotor already offers natural protection due to its narrow approaches and the high mountains.

Here you can see the island of Mamula, a small island at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor, between the Luštica peninsula and the Croatian coast near Prevlaka. The island is home to a 19th-century fortress built during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The fortress was named after the Austro-Hungarian general Lazarus von Mamula, who was governor of Dalmatia at the time. The fortress was built as part of a defensive system for the entrance of the Bay of Kotor. Due to its strategic location, access to the bay could be controlled from here. The circular shape of the fortress is very characteristic and makes the island easily recognizable from afar. During the Second World War, when Italy occupied the region, the fortress on Mamula was used as a prison and internment camp.

Here you reach the Blue Grotto, one of the most famous natural attractions on the coast of Montenegro. The grotto is located on the Luštica peninsula, near the entrance of the Bay of Kotor, and can only be reached by water. The Blue Grotto is known for its special bright blue water. The cave is about 9 meters high and about 45 meters deep. The relatively large opening allows boats to enter the cave, allowing visitors to experience the impressive reflections of light up close. However, the swim does not take place directly in the Blue Grotto, but rather a little later in the so-called Blue Lagoon, a quiet area with very clear water. There you have time to go into the water, swim and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
