Your Boka Bay tour begins at the city park, near the seaport of Kotor. Here you will find a friendly captain waiting to make sure you're seated safely and comfortably for an enthralling cruise around the Boka Bay.
Your first stop is at an islet in the middle of Boka Bay, which holds the name of the church that's settled on it: Our Lady of the Rocks. There are many legends that tell of this phenomenon, but the most accepted one describes the discovery of an icon of the Holy Mother of God with Christ by seamen. In remembrance of this occurrence, local fishermen promised to throw rocks at the same spot where the Lady had been found, thus expanding the surface of the space and creating a charming artificial islet, where visitors can witness the church that's been built in Her honor. The inside of the church dates back from the 15th century and stores countless Baroque paintings (from Montenegrin, as well as Italian artists), votive tablets and tapestry. Outside the church is a small gift shop where you can purchase something that will remind you of this great visit.
Next is Herceg Novi Bay, a coastal town settled at the entrance of Boka Bay, which is rich with culture and especially known for its Byzantine and Eastern architectural styles. Your cruise will pass by the infamous island Mamula, which was once a concentration camp in World War II. The sight of it will both curdle your blood and blow you away with its abundance of natural beauty and rich history. There's even more in store with a visit to the ex-submarine military base.
To conclude the trip, your captain will take you to the Blue Cave, an ideal spot for a refreshing dip in the mesmerizing nuances of its blue surroundings. Blue Cave, accessible only by boat, is renowned for its crystal-clear water, the cave that envelops its blue waters, and the serenity of its natural setting.
Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle
After you board your comfortable coach at the pier, you are on your way to Postojna Cave, the queen of all caves, and the best-known cave in the world.
Upon arrival you will see for yourself the greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the world's largest karst monuments. This is the only place in the world where the underground landscape can be traversed on an electric train and where you get to meet this underground kingdom's most famous inhabitant - the proteus (olm) - up close.
Experience the fantastic web of tunnels, passages, galleries and halls. Marvel at the astonishing diversity of the karst features and have easy access to all of the main areas of the cave where you will soon understand why this is such a popular tourist destination, more than 36 million visitors in over 200 years.
The Predjama Castle reigns over the surrounding area, not far from the Postojna Cave, in the idyllic village of Predjama. This picturesque, magnificent, defiant, mysterious and impregnable castle has been perched in the middle of a vertical 123-metre high cliff for more than 800 years. Its romantic appeal is further emphasized by the idyllic Lokva River, which disappears into the underground world deep down below the castle.
As the only preserved cave castle in Europe, the Predjama Castle offers a unique insight into the building techniques and resourcefulness of people in the Middle Ages, who were looking for and found a safe harbor for themselves directly at the entrance into the cave. During a siege that took place in the15th century, the castle provided a refuge for its best known and most notorious owner, Erazem of Predjama. The legend about the courageous robber baron Erazem, who remained undefeated until one of his servants betrayed him, is still in people's minds, inspiring and alluring as ever. It was this safe abode of his which helped the brave knight resist the besiegers without much difficulty for more than a year.
