AZAMARA Quest’s Captain Carl Smith reveals his top tips for his favourite European port to pass on to your clients.
DO: I love the hike up to St John’s Fortress at the top of the hill. Dotted with old churches and war-time ruins, the walk is rich in history as well as beauty. And the view at the top looking out upon Kotor Bay is out of this world!
EAT: I love the pizza with Njeguk prosciutto! Montenegro’s crisp sea and mountain air apparently give this cured meat its flavour!
SECRET INSIDER TIP: Visit “The Lady of the Rock” opposite Perast — this beautiful church sitting atop a man-made island is teeming with maritime history and mythology, and is considered a guardian angel to all sailors — and cruise ships – that pass by.
BEST TRAVEL ADVICE I’VE BEEN GIVEN:
Pack everything you think you will need – then remove 20% from the case! You’re always bound to pick up keepsakes of your travels along the way, so you want to leave room in those suitcases, especially if you’re catching a flight back to Australia, post cruise.
