Kotor Bay Blue Cave Adventures, Montenegro

On our way to the Blue Cave, we will make a brief stop near the entrances to the abandoned submarine tunnels, which were built by the Yugoslav Army.As we proceed, the open sea and the island with a fortress called Mamula will come into view.Originally, Mamula was never made to be a prison, but a defensive fort, being located in the middle of the bay and having the best blocking position. However, in the World War II Italians converted the fort into a concentration camp well known for brutal torture and cruelty to prisoners. Our skipper will give you the information about the history of this island. We will not go there because of ongoing renovation works. After that, we will proceed to the Blue Cave where you can enjoy swimming and diving. The cave has two openings. Through the larger entrance, a boat and smaller vessels can enter the cave and allow tourists to attend the incredible game of light and water in the interior. For real experience of the cave, we recommend swimming from the boat and using snorkeling masks to explore the world beneath the surface of the water. For unsecure swimmers, we will provide life jackets. On our way back to Kotor, we will visit the islet called Our Lady of the Rocks, which we passed by at the beginning of our trip. On an islet is located a Catholic Church which was renovated in 1722. The church contains 68 paintings by Tripo Kokolja, a famous 17th-century baroque artist from Perast.
