The Best Kotor Videos From Around the Net

BY SARAH BIJELIC

There are some fantastic Kotor videos on the net that show you just how stunning this place is.

The ancient walled town.

The fortress snaking up the mountainside.

The surrounding mountains that plunge into the Bay of Kotor.

It all combines to make for breath-taking videos.
