10 Things to do in Kotor, Montenegro Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Котор)
Good morning friends. We have made it to Montenegro. We're in Kotor (Котор) right by the water we're staying in the Old Town. We've been here a few days and it has been raining non-stop just like it was in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Like the first half of the week it just poured but now it is nice. We can't wait to explore this city so join us as we make a little travel guide.
If there’s one thing that had caught our attention upon arriving in Kotor (Cattaro), it was the fortifications that not only encircle the old town but also run all the way up into the mountain, so a hike up to Kotor Fortress was the first stop on our itinerary.
As a tip, we would say the best time to hike up to Kotor Fortress is in the morning because the path is shaded. This isn’t a huge consideration if you’re visiting in winter like we did, but definitely something to keep in mind if you visit in the summer.
The Cathedral of St Tryphon was built in honor of the patron saint and protector of the city, on the very same spot where an older church had already stood long ago. We paid our admission and went in to visit the cathedral’s very own museum.
After walking along part of the city walls, we stopped by the Sea Gate, which is the third entrance into the Old Town. As soon as you walk through here you’re met with a clock tower and a big square that’s encircled by restaurants and lots of little lanes that break away - basically it’s a great place to wander.
And now we want to show you one more restaurant that we enjoyed in Kotor (Cattaro). This one was called Cesarica and they specialized in seafood.
Lastly, if you want to enjoy a little evening stroll, the Port of Kotor is a beautiful place. Not only can you enjoy the city all lit up at night, but if you happen to be there on a day when the cruise ship pulls into town, it’s worth sticking around to watch it manoeuvre its way.
And that concludes our visit to Kotor (Котор). We hope you guys enjoyed following along and we’ll see you in the next video where we visit the neighbouring coastal town of Budva.

Perast + Our Lady of the Rocks | Day Trip from Kotor, Montenegro Travel Food Video Transcript:
Well good morning good morning guys. Good morning guys. It is another beautiful day here in Kotor (Котор) so we decided let's take a day trip. So we're going to be hopping on a bus and visiting Perast which is a small little town also by the water. Um yeah and once we're there we can hop on a boat and go visit a few islands so it should be a nice day.
We did manage to find the bus, though it involved running up the street since we were in the wrong spot, but aside from that, it was a quick 20-minute ride up the coast to Perast.
Located on the Bay of Kotor, Perast (Perasto) is a small town that hit its peak in the 18th century under the Venetian Republic. During this time, it had as many as four active shipyards and the citizens of the town were allowed to trade and sell goods without tax on the Venetian market. This made them very wealthy, and while today Perast has more of a sleepy vibe, you can still see traces of that wealth in the number of palazzos that line the waterfront.
So the boat frequency turned out to be more like 30 minutes - that morning we learned “just 5 minutes” should not be taken literally.
There are two islands off the coast of Perast (Perasto). One is St. George, which holds an old monastery and is not open to visitors, and the other is Our Lady of the Rocks, which we visited. The latter is an artificial island that was created by sinking old ships loaded with rocks. Here you’ll find the Church of Our Lady of the Rocks, which is the main attraction. To be honest, this is a quick visit and you likely won’t need more than 15-20 minutes on the island, but you do get some nice views of the surrounding mountains.
Then, after that little excursion we could only think about one thing: lunch!
After Sam’s drone session, we had enough time to climb up to visit one more church, and then it was pretty much time to call it a day.
Perast (Perasto) is a charming seaside town, but it’s very small and some of the tourist sights weren’t open so there wasn't much to do, but it’s great for a half-day trip if you want to see something aside from Kotor (Котор)!
Alright guys so here we are wrapping up a lovely little day trip from Kotor (Котор). Yeah, it sure was lovely and such an affordable trip. I mean we only paid 1 Euro each way. We're just waiting to catch the bus that comes every half hour. Just a few hours here is enough time really. You can wander around the old town, you can take a boat ride out to the islands, have a nice comfortable lunch. Do maybe a little bit more exploring. And then you're ready to go back. So it makes for a great half day trip I would say. Bye for now.

10 things to do in Rovinj, Croatia Travel Guide | Rovigno Day Trip from Pula
Come join us as we visit Rovinj, Croatia in this travel guide highlighting 10 things to do on a day trip from Pula. Located only 40 minutes away from Pula by bus taking a day trip to Rovinj is something we'd highly recommend. Instead of ticking off attractions Rovinj is a place to explore slowly by foot where you can enjoy getting lost in the old town wandering down back-alleys. Sip on cappuccinos, gobble gelato and eat pizza & pasta before ending your day by watching sunset over the adriatic.
Rovinj Travel Guide (Rovigno)
1) Coffee (cappuccinos) and cake at Hotel Adriatic
2) Walking along waterfront and marina of Rovinj for great views
3) Wandering along the narrow alleys of Rovinj and getting lost
4) Seaside restaurant for lunch to eat pizza and pasta (Stella di Mare)
5) Befriending the local stray cats
6) Market of Rovinj to people watch and buy truffles
7) Visiting the artist market
8) Checking out the Church of St. Euphemia in Rovinj

10 things to do in Rovinj, Croatia Travel Guide | Rovigno Day Trip from Pula Transcript:
Today we are heading on a day trip. How exciting. Yes. So we've been based in Pula for a little while. Yep. And today we are going to Rovinj (Rovigno). It is only like 30 or 40 minutes away by bus. Yeah. So it is going to make for an awesome day trip. We've basically scheduled the whole day in Rovinj. We are leaving in the morning and we're probably going to come back after sunset.
After eating breakfast, we decided to do a little bit of exploring along the waterfront. We walked the full length of the marina stopping to take photos of the brightly painted buildings with matching window shutters, plus rows and rows of boats. Then once we reached the end, we were treated to these postcard-perfect shots of Rovinj from a distance.
A fun fact about Rovinj: though it’s now connected to the mainland, this once used to be an island. It was connected in 1763 as part of a land reclamation project under the Venetian Empire, which also explains why certain parts of the city may remind you of Venice.
After wandering around for a few hours, it was finally time for lunch, so we returned to the waterfront looking for a seaside restaurant.
Audrey had the shrimp risotto, I had shrimp pizza, and yes, we both shared with the cats, who had learned to swat if you approached empty-handed.
Atop the hill, we reached St. Euphemia’s Church. If you’re feeling particularly brave, you can even try climbing the bell tower’s infamous creaking wooden steps. Such are the steps’ reputation, that there’s even a bulletin board inside the church with photos of what to expect. We didn’t make it to the top, thought I was happy to settle for terrace views.
Later that afternoon, the skies finally cleared, so we enjoyed another walk along the harbour as well as a gelato stop along the way.
So what’s the verdict on Rovinj? You can definitely explore the town in one day, but if you have a few days to spare, this would make an even better base to explore the rest of Istria.

Kotor Karnevalske feste Maskembal Milos Dzeverdarevic Direktor Kulturnog centra Nikola Djurkovic
Tradicionalni zimski kotorski karneval 2016. svečano je sinoć otvoren zanimljivim programom u velikoj sali Kulturnog centra „Nikola Đurković” u Kotoru.
Pored klapa u programu, koji je vodio Brane Knezović, učestvovale su i „Teatar 303”, i kapo karnevala Luka Knezović.
Nakon nastupa Gradske muzike Kotor, mažoretki „Fešta”, klapskih „šoto voće” u izvođenju „Bisernica Boke” i klape „Maris”, te niza pjesama u duhu karnevala benda „Lungomare”, plesom i muzikom, uz kostimografiju koja prati maškarane dane, kotorski entuzijasti smijenjivali su se na sceni originalnim nastupima što je publika nagrađivala burnim aplauzima. Za malo smijeha bili su zaduženi Dragan Buzdovan i Nađa Mirković iz „Teatra 303” koji su izveli satiričan skeč pod nazivom „Savo zaobilaznica”. U danima od fešte kada se po kotorski „od škartoca i lencuna prave maske, kada se pituraju, šiju i kroje”, prava poetska riječ razgali dušu. Pjesnikinja Dubravka Jovanović, koja je i autorka himne karnevala „Svi na fešte”, ali i brojnih feštađunskih pjesama, recitovala je svoju „Odu markatu” (pijaca), a u pjesmi „Februarski divertisimo” opisala je naravi Bokelja.
„Kuriozni i đelozni, malo falsi i umbrozni, vazda nam je drugi kriv, ako ga ne opituraš nisi živ...” To je dio njenih stihova koje je publika propratila ovacijama, kao i pozdravnu riječ gradonačelnika Kotora dr Aleksandra Stjepčevića koja je uslijedila.
Karnevalske zimske svečanosti zvanično je otvorio kapo kotorskog karnevala Luka Knezović koji je domaćinima i fureštima poručio da: „U ovim šempjanim danima pored svih peripetija koje su nas pratile, karneval ćemo održati po kotorski i onako kako zaslužuje. Ako se ofendi (naljuti) tamo njemu, jer je ovo vrijeme ludoreca, škerca i zdravih šala, a maska sve trpi”.
– Dragi moji, kao kapo molim vas da svi učestvujete u ovim našim karnevalskim feštama da pozovete svoje prijatelje, da i oni dođu i da se skupa veselimo i izdušimo od ne baš prevesele svakodnevice. Da barem ovijeh sedam dana zaboravimo na račune od letrike (struje), poreze, komunalije, penzije i plate, na velike politike. Molim vas da što više sjedite na fejsbuk i da objavljujete što više negativnosti iz Kotora, ako vi je tako lakše, i ako se u tome prepoznajete i uživate. Najteže je rabotati! Zato da se svi od svega odmorimo, pozivam vas onom našom starom - svi na fešte! Da ste mi živo i zdravo i da vi vazda stoji pravo - tamo ga njemu ili njoj, poručio je kapo. Karnevalski program se, inače nastavlja večeras kada će u Poslovnom centru „Vukšić” od 21 sat biti održan tradicionalni Kotorski maskenbal. Goste će zabavljati sastavi „Tri kvarta” i „Lungo Mare”, a fond nagrada iznosi 3.500 eura. Fešte će trajati do 6. marta kada će, uz uličnu maškaranu karnevalsku povorku, biti tradicionalno suđenje i spaljivanje „Krnja” - glavnog krivca za sve nedaće Kotorana u protekloj godini, nakon čega će na glavnom gradskom Trgu od oružja nastupiti hrvatska pjevačica Danijela Martinović. Na dan karnevala po tradiciji iz štampe će izaći humoristički list „Karampana” koji, prilozima kroz koja iznose zapažanja iz svoje svakodnevice, razne dogodovštine, ćakule i škerce, uređuju sami Kotorani. Organizator manifestacije je Kulturni centar „Nikola Đurković”, suorganizator Turistička organizacija Kotor, pokrovitelj je Opština Kotor.

10 Things to do in Hvar, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript:
We have finally made it to one of my dream destinations. We're in Hvar, Croatia so and oh my it is beautiful. Today we have blue skies so we're just going to run around like crazy to show you guys Hvar.
As you probably already know, we never start sightseeing without a good meal, so the first item on our list was to find some breakfast. This proved to be a little tricky considering we were visiting during low season, but after a few false starts we settled down at BB Club for shakshuka, omelettes, nutella crepes and cappuccinos.
With bellies full, we were ready explore and our eyes were set on the fortress, which is the focal point when you gaze up from the Old Town.
Reaching the fortress means walking straight uphill, but there are a few scenic stops along the way, including a beautiful park, a seemingly abandoned church, and plenty of lookouts where you can admire the town and the harbour.
After visiting the fort, we came back to the Old Town and decided to go on a little walk along the waterfront. We hadn’t packed any bathing suits and it was too late in the season to go for a swim, but Audrey was set on testing out the turquoise waters.
Continuing our wander through Hvar Town without a particular place or direction in mind, we then came across a medieval Venetian bell tower that we had noticed peeking through the buildings. The bell tower is part of the Ruins of the Dominican Monastery and St. Mark's Church, and while the structure is closed off, it’s still a cool landmark to visit.
We went to KOGO which is located in the main square just footsteps from St. Stephen’s Cathedral. They specialize in pizzas and pastas, and everything was so tasty!
Lastly, to finish up our 1-day tour of Hvar Town, we walked back to the marina, this time heading left in the direction of the Franciscan Monastery, where we were treated to a magical sunset complete with live music.
