Church of St. Nicholas,
Kotor, Montenegro.
My favorite places,
are less traveled and uncrowded.
Kotor is exactly such a place. It is charming, unspoiled and an explorers paradise.
Kotor is one of the best preserved medieval old towns in the Adriatic.
It is a desiginated as two separate Unesco World Heritage Sites. First, for it’s buildings of medieval significance, and secondly for it’s Venetian defensive structures built at the height of Venetian power in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Cheers to you from the first in a series of ‘Off the Beaten Path Places’ in our small world~

Wow, breathtaking views!!!

Awesome! 🙂
Hvala! (Thank you in Montenegrin). დ
If only those walls could talk. You can imagine the fascinating things that have happened on those streets and in those buildings. Maggie
It would be beyond incredible wouldn’t it! დ
A charming place!
Yes indeed. Cheers to you Ute დ
Thank you for sharing your travels. So interesting. This is more than likely the only way I will ever get to experience far off places!
I am very happy you are traveling virtually with me Sheryl and that you are enjoying the trip! დ
💖💖
Now I see where the color venetian blue comes from. Thank you for sharing this lovely place. I hope it remains off the beaten path.
Those blue shutters are timeless aren’t they (literally!) I hope Kotor stays unspoiled too დ
Yes, they are!
დ
Your photos are always stunning and I enjoy seeing places that I have never been 🙂
Thank you! I enjoy virtually traveling with you my friend დ
Beautiful place, gorgeous pictures!!! Thank you!!!

Fine collection of photos of what seems like an imaginary place
Thank you Eddie. Like wonderland! დ
I hope to be able to go there soon!
I hope you do and quickly. The river is peaking, but there is still more snow on the peaks to melt დ
Incredible place here Cindy. The Church of St Nicholas caught my eye and I’d like to include this post in my Sunday Stills round up tomorrow (Sacred Places).
I am honored Terri. Please do. You can always use my photos. Just site the source once please. I will include interior shots of the church soon. Cheers to you Terri & thank you my friend დ
Thank you, Cindy, all I did was add the your post’s link to my post’s round up list, in case you need more people coming to your blog! 😀
Gorgeous, Cindy. You take the Road Less Traveled too! Stellar photography! I am in awe. There is another site called the Bespoke Traveler. Have you ever looked at it? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much Mary Ann. Yes. I follow Bespoke. Unless WP unfollowed me! Enjoy your grandbaby my friend დ
My pleasure. A sunny day after rain and cold weather. The outdoors beckons. The fragrance from our lilacs is soothing. I sang to our granddaughter yesterday. At four months, she recognized my voice and German. Have a great week. Blessings. oxox
So sweet. The feelings we have for our grandchildren is truly special.
Indeed, sweet. Nothing can compare. Enjoy your week of photography! ox

Wunderschöne Fotos von einer hübschen Stadt, die mir auch vor vielen Jahren sehr gut gefallen hat.
Vielen danke mein leiber Freund Marie! დ
Such a charming little village, beautifully captured here, Cindy.
Beautiful photos as always. If I were to go there, I would probably never want to leave. Wow!
Smiling…..Until you start sneezing! 😉 😉
Thank you for this little tour. Beautiful, and enticing. We almost went there from Dubrovnik, but decided we were trying to cram in too much. Next time.

Lovely pictures of the ‘old’ that remains preserved. 💗 🙂
I have not traveled much (only Ireland and Scotland) outside of North America, so this is a wonderful little armchair travel for me. What an amazing town. So glad some places have not destroyed their history.
I feel the same. It is wonderful to see buildings that last for over a thousand years!
It looks that is was out of season. There are no tourists around at all, or this place is not on the tourist routes. I love not crowded places like that. Thank you, Cindy, for the lovely tour.
Thank you Alexander and, yes! Crowds are a deal breaker for me too. This place is less touristed and so much better for it დ
Fantastic, Cindy! ❦❦
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Resa დ
Bienvenu! დდ

How beautiful, in lots of ways we have lost our way with architecture, you don’t see so many of these beautiful streets in modern towns, just box brick homes. I would love to go there.
My! It’s like going back in time. Do they have costumes too?
Nope. Not while I was there. Maybe during traditional holidays they might. I don’t know დ
It looks like falling into a storybook. What beautiful buildings and brickwork. I’d be in heaven exploring here.
We feel the same about places like this Bridgette. The are like storybooks full of charm and history დ
Beautiful.
Grazie mille დ
I love being off the beaten path! So much more interesting and Kotor is no exception! I love the house! Beautiful 😃
You and I are in perfect accord, as usual! დ
Of course! Being off the beaten track is a perfect excuse to go for a longer holiday too – to ensure enough time to take it all in!
Exactly!
