Why Staying Longer in Kotor Changed Everything (Montenegro)

Ep.172 Most people rush through Kotor, Montenegro — but we stayed three weeks. What we found in Kotor and Dobrota went far beyond sightseeing: neighbors, daily rhythms, and a side of this place cruise passengers never see. It proved to us why slowing down changes everything you take away from a place. We share mobility ratings throughout and our costs at the end!
