After day-trippers clear out, walk Kotor's marble streets and hidden squares with a local guide who lives inside the walls, ending at a family-run konoba nobody photographs for Instagram.
What to expect
Your guide starts at the Sea Gate as the day's tour groups thin out, threading through squares named for cats, flour, and weapons, pointing out which palazzi are still lived in by the same families after centuries. You'll duck into the small Maritime Museum courtyard and a quiet chapel most itineraries skip entirely. The walk ends at a tucked-away konoba for a glass of local wine as the town's lights come on.
Good to know
Best started 5-6pm; comfortable shoes essential on worn marble; the guide can extend into a seated dinner if your ship's departure allows
