01Coast, stone streets and walks in green spaces
A seaside walk on the Pet Danica promenade
The Pet Danica promenade follows the coast from Igalo toward Meljine. At Skver, you pass the town harbor and boats, while swimming spots and coastal neighborhoods line the shore farther along. For a shorter family outing, you can stay around Skver, beside the harbor with views of the bay.

Walking and resting beneath the pergola in Park Boka
In Park Boka, you walk among palms and evergreen magnolias. A pergola with wisteria runs through the center of the garden, providing shade, and there is a fountain with a sculpture. The terraces look toward the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and Lustica.
The park is laid out on steep, terraced ground. More about Park Boka · View on map.
Forest paths and views in Savinska dubrava
Savinska dubrava stretches along a wooded ridge between Herceg Novi and Meljine. Winding paths pass through pines, cypresses and other Mediterranean vegetation, leading to viewpoints over the Bay of Kotor. Savina Monastery is in the same woodland area.
The walk follows slopes and forest paths, so the terrain differs from the waterfront promenade. Savinska dubrava and the town parks · Area on the map.
