6. Kotor, Montenegro: A Quieter Alternative to Croatia

While Dubrovnik is overrun with cruise ships, just a few hours south lies Kotor, a medieval coastal town with a spectacular fjord-like bay. With its cobbled streets, Venetian-style architecture, and towering mountains, Kotor has all the charm of the Adriatic without the overwhelming crowds. Hike up to the fortress for a panoramic view of the bay, take a boat trip to the nearby blue caves, or simply wander through the UNESCO-listed old town at a leisurely pace.
