Kotor's perfectly preserved medieval Old Town is situated at the base of a breathtaking trek along historic brick walls. 1000+ steps will switchback past churches, jaw dropping mountain peaks, and panoramic vistas of the dazzling bay below until you reach St. John's Fortress. The higher you climb, the better the view. Start your hike early to beat the summer heat and the crowds.  Let your curiosity lead you, and perhaps you too will find the local farmer selling fresh cheese and pomegranate juice behind the fortress walls. #kotor #montenegro #castles #oldtown #medieval #europe #balkans #churches #hiking #history
