From the entrance of the Bay of Kotor, it is about a 90-minute sail down to the town of Kotor. Be sure to stay out on deck for the whole 90 minutes as the views are stunning. Pictured is the small town of Perast, located across from the famous " Lady of the Rocks" church which sits in the middle of the bay. Photo © 2008 Bart de Boer
