The old fortified town of Kotor is on the UNESCO world heritage list. We’ve learned that this old town is one of the most well-preserved towns in Europe and has survived many regimes and natural disasters.

Translated version, “What belongs to others we don’t want, what is ours we will never surrender” – President Tito of Yugoslavia.

The first day we arrived in Kotor we went for a walk around the old town. We noticed a sign and it grabbed our attention.
