Deeply inside the colloquially called Boka Bay, a medieval port town stands – a network of lively cobbled alleys and hidden squares walled by stout ramparts. We have the five most essential town squares to explore inside the ramparts, visit a few nobility palaces, learning the town`s curiosities from the documented history along the way. The intriguing religious diversity of this city is mirrored in many religious buildings scattered throughout the town, featuring both Roman Catholic and Orthodox aspects of Christianity. Entry permitted, we shall take a peek inside the Cathedral of St Typhoon and two orthodox churches – St. Luca and St. Nicola, situated on St. Luca’s church square, previously called Piazza Greca. We close the tour in the shade of the oldest tree in town, absorbing the medieval atmosphere while relaxing in one of many cafe terraces. After the break and time permitting, we suggest climbing up to the fort of San Giovanni for a spectacular view and great photos!
