Kotor Kotor is an ancient town in the middle of an enormous bay which will take a long time to drive around. The town contains city walls and a very limited number of places to eat. If you can stand to drive (warning it isn't for the nervous) then try going down to Sveti Stefan and the magical area which contains two famous hotels owned by Milocer. One, the Sveti Stefan is contained on an island outcrop and is a former fishing village which in the 60s was a hedonistic destination for the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Please don't try staying there (way too expensive) but risk the 7 euro entry and enjoy some home made lemonade on the hotel island in a beautiful little cafe bar and dream for a while! What ever you do DON'T travel inland to the capital or around the interior. The roads are just not up to it and you can only average 40km/h which means a short journey takes many hours. There isn't all that much to see to be honest and if you have purchased the only English guide to Monte Negro by Brandt ask yourself if the author has ever visited the place because I don't think they ever have! This is one of Europe's final backwaters. Beautiful, rugged but somewhere you'll either love or be keen to escape back to creature comforts.
