19-Feb-25 Lustica Bay, Montenegro

Another blue sky day and excellent view for a brew to start the day. Really am enjoying this hotel.

The other main town in the area is Tivat. Much more upmarket than Kotor. And cleaner. And newer. With a lot of new development going off. Many shiny expensive boats in the marina. And shops for the rich. This is seemingly the summer playground of the well to do. A pleasant and relaxing feel here. And just the place for a spot of lunch. By the marina. With views of an azure Adriatic. And views of snow capped mountains.

Not much else to see. So a jolly jaunt around the Bay of Kotor. Ferry from Lepetani to Kamenari. Assuming it’s a drive on and pay onboard. Which was what I start doing. Until big, burly, marine official stops me in my tracks. Ticket needs to be bought from the ticket office. Promptly purchased. Short trip across the water to Kamenari and follow the scenic coast road. Just before Kotor. Turn off the main coast road and drive along what can best be described as an access road to the waterfront properties along the coast. A single carriage one way road. Good decision. There’s some nice mansions and holiday apartments. Along with some nice looking local cafes and restaurants. Take note of some holiday lets. Will be worth coming back. A nice area requiring further investigation.

Seeing the Kotor cable car station signposted. Drive up to go up. Except. It’s still being built. So that’s a no.

Unlike last night. Dinner is not alone. People are turning up for the weekly Japanese night in hotel. An excellent, excellent meal.
