The Bay of Kotor is the
natural and cultural treasury of the world. More than
thousand years of its existence have left a very rich
legacy. Fortresses, ramparts, old towns, squares and
villas reflect its colorful history.
The nature has been even more generous. Bays, coves,
straits and beaches are located just below large rocky
mountains. It is characterized by a clear and warm sea
at the foot of the mountains whose snowy tops are
reflected in its dark blue clear water. Due to these
characteristics, Kotor is under the UNESCO protection as
a part of the world cultural and natural inheritance.
Different civilizations and cultures have left
numerous legends – while some of them are true, the
others are the fruit of imagination. A fine line between
the myth and reality disappeared by the passage of time.
The stories have remained.
One interesting story is kept by the hotel Amphora.
Located in a small picturesque fishermen’s settlement
called Orahovac, near Kotor and Perast, it was named by
amphorae, a type of clay vase
being used as the principal means for transporting and
storing oil, wine, grain and other commodities during
the 1st and 2nd century B.C..
Handmade in Italy and Greece, and later on in Dalmatia,
they used to be and still are a symbol of safe deposit
box for valuables. Found at the bottom of the sea by
fishermen and divers, they can provide invaluable
information on habits and life of the ancient peoples.
While amphorae are kept in museums, private
collections or at the bottom of the sea, the Hotel
Amphora is accessible to all those who enjoy in gorgeous
views, quite beaches and comfort. The local cuisine
prepared in this hotel is a challenge for gourmands, and
the hotel has 12 extremely comfortable rooms with
state-of-the-art equipment, which become the habit of
family and business men. The hotel also has the wellness
center.
If you want a full privacy, you can book the entire
hotel only for you and your friends. Those who do not
want to rest only, but also to work, can use, in this
unique ambience, the facilities of congress tourism,
which provide excellent working conditions for
approximately 50 guests.
The Amphora guests are never bored. The Hotel
management organizes different events: bay cruising,
hunting and fishing, freeclimbing, hiking, excursions
around Montenegro, as well as the participation in
unique carnival and cultural manifestations around the
Bay of Kotor.
The art of living is proved at this address.
