A more banal chronicler would have dubbed the town of Kotor the “pearl of the Montenegrin coast” and a “tourist mecca.” But I’ll call it a remarkable, well-preserved, and monumental forteza, which means fortress in Greek (picked that up in Crete).
True, not everyone wanted to go inside the fortress. Whether it was the heat, social anxiety, or just the mood remains murky, but a big thanks to Max for wanting to go, and a few other people went with him, myself included.
Also, a tourist from the UK who arrived here via WizzAir lobbied us hard to visit the forteza. As a true patriot, I informed her that this airline flies to Riga too, and it wouldn’t be a bad idea for her to show up in our neck of the woods someday.
