Kotor Riviera · Inner Boka
The Boka Shore Road
A flat one-lane shore road under Vrmac, past sea captains’ palaces, tiny churches and swimming jetties — the quietest old-Boka walk, from Kotor’s walls to the chestnut shore of Stoliv.

Good to know
- One-way walk: Blue Line’s Kotor municipal bus runs Kotor → Muo → Prčanj → Stoliv along this exact road (~30 min; pay the driver in cash, small notes; last return around 22:00, later in summer).
- Much of the route shares a one-lane road with cars and has no continuous pavement — keep children close at the pinch points; not ideal for strollers despite being flat.
- Long exposed stretches between Muo and Prčanj — carry water; swimming ladders and platforms line the whole Prčanj waterfront.
- Come in late February–March for Stoliv’s camellia bloom; the Sv. Ilija feast climbs to Gornji Stoliv in late July.

Muo
Stage 2 of 6 →
Under Venice, Muo was Kotor’s fish larder — a single row of stone houses and dozens of private jetties that still look straight back at the floodlit walls.
Tre Sorelle palace
Stage 3 of 6 →Three identical Gothic windows face the sea from this 15th-century palace — legend says three sisters who loved the same sailor walled themselves in, each watching for his ship until the end.
Prčanj waterfront
Stage 4 of 6 →
A kilometre of sea captains’ palaces alternating with swimming ladders. Prčanj’s shipowners pledged half their profits to build the basilica rising ahead of you.

Stoliv

Sailors brought camellia seeds home from Japan two centuries ago; every February the village blooms. The road ends among chestnut trees, with Perast and its two islets floating across the water.

Pet Danica Promenade
Seven kilometres of seafront named for five local girls — five Danicas, wartime partisans, several of whom never came home from Sutjeska in 1943. The promenade runs on the bed of the 1901 railway that first brought travellers to this coast, from Igalo’s spa gardens to the shipyard cranes of Bijela.

The Seven Bays
The coast’s most famous walk: promenades, a pedestrian tunnel through the cliff, hidden coves and pine paths linking seven bays — ending at the postcard view of Sveti Stefan.
