Over 3 hours from Dubrovnik via bus, taking into consideration that border control both sides took time, I arrived in Kotor. A well established coastal town with good docking facilities for the huge liners that frequent this country. Many of the tourists that come to Montenegro are Russian. There are half completed hotels, mainly in Budva, built by Russian companies hoping to join the Alliance. 

Kotors’s old town is where I am staying for 3 nights. A beautiful ancient wall surrounds this town with 3 entrance gates. A 9th century fortress overlooks the town.  Kotor also boasts Kamelija, a shopping centre that houses the usual designer outlets which is only 100 m from the old town. 

Budva is around 15k from Kotor, a little further up the coast. It also has an old town, albeit smaller than Kotor old town and slightly more commercial. With its huge beach, bars and clubs it makes an alternative to the quieter town of Kotor.
