In the Kotor Old Town (5 km from Prcanj) are many shops, boutiques, restaurants, monuments, cathedrals, waterfront with yachts, bars, discos, markets, and a wonderful atmosphere of the old town. In any destination where you go, there are restaurants and catering facilities with excellent homemade food and seafood dishes. Hospitality and service in Montenegro are at a high level.

Rafting Tara

The canyon is part of the Tara River rafting route.[1] The one day rafting route, from Brstnovica to Sćepan Polje is 11 mi long and it takes 2 to 3 hours. This part of the canyon is the most exciting because the river has the biggest drop in elevation in the shortest length. There are 21 out of 50 rapids in this part of the Tara. The rapids are Brstanovići, Pećine, the very dangerous Celije rapids and Vjernovički rapids. If you decide to go all the way, rafting adventure is 62 mi long. At the beginning you will see the waterfalls of Ljutica, then you will pass under the 541 feet high monumental bridge of Tara. Next thing you can see on this exciting journey is the old Roman road and the Lever Tara. "Funjički bukovi" and "Bijele ploče" will make you realise how calm and up to this moment nice Tara becomes a wild beauty. "Nisovo vrelo" is the deepest part of the canyon (3608 feet high).

Kotor Bay

The Bay of Kotor (Serbian/Montenegrin: Boka Kotorska, Бока Которска, pronounced [bɔ̂ka kɔ̂tɔrskaː]) in southwestern Montenegro is a winding bay on the Adriatic Sea. The bay, once called Europe's southernmost fjord, is in fact a ria of the disintegrated Bokelj River which used to run from the high mountain plateaus of Mount Orjen. It is an important tourist attraction in Montenegro.

The Verige strait represents the narrowest section of the bay and is located between Cape St. Nedjelja and Cape Opatovo; it separates the inner bay east of the strait from the remainder and belongs to the Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor, a World Heritage Site. Montenegro is planning to build a bridge to span the strait, the so-called Verige Bridge.

The bay has been inhabited since antiquity and has some well preserved medieval towns. The picturesque towns of Kotor, Risan, Tivat, Perast, Prčanj, Herceg Novi, and Budva, along with their natural surroundings, are major tourist attractions.
