Kotor Above the Clouds

Starting in Old Town Kotor, you'll take a moderate hike to the village of Spiljari. From there, ascend the mountain trail for stellar views and sample some homemade cheese before descending to see the entrance of the San Giovanni Fortress. This Kotor tour is a great escape for travelers wanting an authentic and active Kotor shore excursion.

A professional tour guide will collect and escort you to meet the only remaining family in the abandoned village of Spiljari. Afterward, you'll follow a scenic winding trail up a mountain that, in Ottoman times, was the only connection between Montenegro and the outside world for hundreds of years.

Soon, you'll reach a terrace featuring unparalleled views of Kotor Bay from the mountaintop. Survey the farm in Spiljari before sampling their homemade goat cheese and wild pomegranate juice. Delight in the breathtaking views and see the hidden entrance of the San Giovanni fortress before descending the mountain along ancient city walls considered to be among the longest in Europe.

Book this Kotor tour to experience a rare bird's-eye view of Kotor. You may add a private guided tour of Old Town Kotor before or after your hike.

Our guide was fantastic

Vanja, our guide, was knowledgeable, accommodating, and happy to tailor our excursion to fit our needs. We hiked up the side of the mountain, stopped at a lovely cafe for fresh pomegranate juice and he gave us a taste of the walled city before returning to the port right on time,

Very strenuous

On this excursion it was just my wife and I. Our tour guide Petar was excellent. He had a lot of infomation about the history of Kotor and tthe area. We did not go up the steps as every other cruise tour does. He took us around the side and went up an old goat road that has many switchbacks. It was very hot out and he let us take as many breaks as we needed. We were very glad there was a place at the top to get some cold water to cool of and drink. He took us down the steps and back to the meeting point. The views were amazing! Make sure to bring water with you on the way up.

Although we could have done the hike on our own, we loved the imput from our guide and our unique route back down. The stop for refreshments was fun too. Really enjoyed ourselves despite the physical workout!

This was my favorite tour from my whole trip. If you like to hike, this is the tour for you. There were only 5 of us in this group with Gordon our guide and he was great. Fantastic views, went up a switchback trail, climbed through a window of the fort, them proceeded to climb to the very top of the old fort looking down on the old town of Kotor. Walked back down the 1400 plus steps, fantastic!
