The beauty of Kotor lies in the 4.5 km long and 20 m high ramparts that encircle the old town. Of Byzantine origin, these fortifications helped protect the city from Turkish attacks in the 16th and 17th centuries. The fortress of St John, which dominates the town at an altitude of nearly 260 m, was abandoned in 1918. Now in ruins, it is accessible by more than 1,000 steps. The view offered from the top of its walls is splendid, between the Bay of Kotor and Mount Lovćen.

15€ l'entrée, toujours plus !

Un point de vu incroyable ! L'effort en vaut la peine !
Je pense qu'ils ont fait un effort sur les déchets car ça ne m'a pas paru particulièrement sale.
Par contre... 15€ l'entrée par personne ... on en parle ou pas ? C'est abusé !

Entretien du chemin menant à la fortetesse

J'ai fait la montée jusqu'à la forteresse et je déplore les déchets qui la parsèment. Avec une entrée à 8 €, la municipalité ou l'organisme qui encaisse les fonds pourraient faire ramasser les déchets et faire vider les poubelles sui débordent.

Belle vue mais aucun entretien et sale !

Quel dommage de ne.pas entretenir un tel site malgré les 8 euros de ticket d'entrée ! Le sentier est très sale avec beaucoup de sacs poubelles ouverts et bouteilles par terre..Les remparts ne sont absolument pas entretenus et la horde de touristes gâche un peu la marche .. Prévoir d'y aller très tôt pour éviter chaleur et touristes.
