Coast light lifts over the Bay of Kotor, the road climbs above silver water, and the hills open towards sunlit vineyards. Across the border, Trebinje’s plane-tree square stays cool at midday, stone lanes drop to the river, and arches of the old bridge catch late light. With a full day you can add Tvrdoš for cellar tastings or Vjetrenica for a guided cave walk.

Top story for the route Leave Kotor early as the bay turns pale and the first cafés set out chairs. Cross inland where limestone slopes soften to vineyards, then step into Trebinje’s old town for coffee under the plane trees.
Walk to the river for angles on Arslanagića Bridge, taste local varietals in stone-cool cellars at Tvrdoš, and, if time allows, continue to Vjetrenica for a steady cave path with a guide. Read more on our Trebinje destination page, our Tvrdoš Monastery wine cellars guide and our Vjetrenica Cave guide.
