Michelle reached a scenic overlook. She squeezed the brakes, skidded to a stop and straddled the scooter. At the base of a barren limestone mount, and hugging the shores of a placid bay, was another medieval fortified town. Kotor appeared serene when viewed from a distance. Kotor is tucked into the base of Mount Lovćen along a submerged river valley called Boka Kotorska. The small, walled-in town dates to antiquity. Much of Old Town’s charm reflects Venetian rule from 1420 until 1797. Kotor has become a popular port for cruise ships sailing through the Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea.
