Behind the city walls, the old town of Kotor has much to offer when it comes to narrow alleys, quiet squares, unexpected encounters; on top of that: several charming churches and history jumping at you from all sides.
From the distance of the other side of the sea arm, I was contemplating Kotor and its surroundings. The fortress and the ramparts leading up to it looked appealing, but the old town below, hidden behind its city walls, seemed to jealously guard its secrets to the outsider. Crossing the rather busy road running around the city wall, I entered the city from the South Gate, also called the Gurdic Gate after the Gurdic spring in which the gate beautifully reflected in the afternoon sun. The gate is narrow here; in fact, the old town is at its very narrowest here. After entering Kotor through the solid gate, I almost immediately fell in love with it. Much less crowd than in some other parts of the area, lovely marble streets, arched passages: it is difficult not to fall for the old town of Kotor. As I was on my way up to the fortification of St. John, I did not have time for a longer visit, and knew I would be back the next day anyway.
