Kotor is very well located: it is protected from the winds blowing from the land by the Lovcen mountain range, and the neighborhood of the Bay of Kotor and the Škurda River ensure comfortable humidity even in the summer months. Due to the warm Mediterranean climate, the weather forecast in Kotor most often gives the opportunity to open the holiday season as early as April. It is at this time that the first cruise ships call at Boka Kotorska. In general, the bathing season lasts about 140 days and usually starts in June and ends in early October.
