Kotor

Bay highlight harbour for medieval walls and fjord scenery. Popular overnight for Kotor yacht charter itineraries, often booked early in peak season.

Which base for which week

Choose Tivat for Saturday logistics and fleet volume. Use Budva for coastal variety and Kotor as a highlight stop rather than the default check-in base.
