How to avoid the worst of it today

Climb before the ships wake. First light on the fortress steps: cool air, the bay igniting below, the town's roofs like a model at your feet — down by the time the first groups reach the gate. Fortified towns invert under load — when the lanes flood, the walls above them empty. Altitude is the escape the crowd won't pay for in sweat.
Give the cruise hours to the bay. A morning boat to the blue chapel and Perast's marble mile carries the day's worst hours across the water — the fjord-that-isn't from its best angle.
Reclaim the triangle at dusk. After the last tenders, the old town returns to cats, bell-chimes and dinner tables in stone squares — the Kotor that justifies staying the night.

Where the crowds are

The Sea Gate & the main squares: Three gates feed squares built for hundreds; ships deliver thousands.
The fortress steps at cruise midday: A procession in full sun on bare stone.

Quiet places in Kotor

The bay by boat: Perast, the islands and the mirror water, always bigger than its crowd.
The river gate side & Skurda's banks: The town's back gate — plane trees, ramparts, no groups.
