Here I continue with the posts about my honeymoon travel, we embarked on the Lyrica cruise ship and our stops were: Dubrovnik (of which I have already made three posts prior to this one), Kotor, Corfu and Zakynthos. The second stage of our trip was precisely Kotor. A delightful city in Montenegro, one of my favorites among those visited. Furthermore, to get there there is a narrow maneuver not easy for ships that opens onto the city the beautiful mouths of Kotor, a natural harbor, similar to the Norwegian fjords, beautiful to see as soon as you enter the port. A truly magnificent place. A place that still has much of its medieval form.
The weather was nice too not too warm, and the port it's really in front of the city door so really easy to visit.
As soon as we got off the ship we found ourselves after a few steps at one of the city gates, luckily this city can be visited very well on foot, we immediately began to notice in the first streets that we saw that this place is full of cats, not surprisingly there is also the cat museum and there are literally cats everywhere, which is great for cat lovers like me. Kotor it's really an old fashioned city, you can breath the history there.
After we had a short walk around we finally find a place where they say they sell the truly Italian espresso so we want immediately try it because on the ship the espresso was not good and most of the coffee it's not made in the Italian way, we find this little lovely place in a corner, called patisserie, they also have a menu full of nice drinks and snacks, we sit outside and we ordered a coffee espresso, the place it's really comfy and sitting outside it's nice because we can see the street but also the inner space of the patisserie. The place it's really cute and little and we must admit we really loved the espresso, finally a good coffe yay!
I also loved the spoon they served to us, are really cute and nice.
Kotor was Roman and then also under Venice, it has a long and not always pleasant history, unfortunately, it was severely hit by the plague, by the Ottoman Empire and by two major earthquakes, one quite recent. That's all for today, in the next post I will delve into the recent history of Kotor a little more and I will show you the rest of our visit to this city which in its simplicity struck me very much, a very beautiful place but which has seen a lot of suffering.
