Itineraries for a stay in Kotor
Itineraries for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days organise Kotor visits, swimming and journeys further around Montenegro.

The seven-day journey changes overnight locations, while the ten-day plan keeps Kotor as its only base. Daily schedules separate driving, visits and breaks.

Questions about itineraries for Kotor
How do these itineraries combine walking and driving?
The one-day programme visits the Old Town, harbour and walls on foot. Longer plans add swimming and drives. The seven-day journey uses several overnight locations; the ten-day itinerary returns to the same accommodation in Kotor.
How is a stay itinerary different from a driving guide?
A stay itinerary arranges visits, activities and breaks across a chosen number of days. A driving guide develops one trip, its stops and the return journey.
Can I adapt a longer itinerary to a shorter stay?
Choose a shorter itinerary or leave out individual days. Before changing the sequence, check each day’s start and finish, overnight stops and time for driving, visits and rest.
