Kotor Cruise Pirs Marina

Drop anchor here and you're practically at the gates of one of the Adriatic's most dramatic UNESCO-listed medieval towns — Kotor's Old City is a short walk from the pier. The marina sits deep within the Bay of Kotor, a fjord-like inlet ringed by limestone mountains that creates an almost impossibly scenic backdrop. Large cruise ships anchor out in the bay and tender in, so this working port has a lively, international energy year-round. Tie up and you've got the Old Town's maze of Venetian-era alleyways, bars, and the winding staircase up to St. John's Fortress all within easy reach.
