    What you'll see and do

    1. Ostrog Monastery

      The Ostrog Monastery is an Orthodox monastery found at the high point of the mountain Ostroska Greda, sitting on a nearly vertical cliff in Montenegro. It is dedicated to St. Basil of Ostrog. The monastery includes Upper and Lower monasteries. This Orthodox church celebrates St. Basil of Ostrog on May 12th as per the Gregorian calendar. St. Basil of Ostrog is a great miracle worker whose miraculous works are well known beyond the boarders of the Serbian Orthodox Church. His holy body has been resting in the Ostrog estate for over 300 years, defining the law of rotting. The church where the Saint lies is filled with a pleasant scent that amazes every visitor. The Monastery is 105km away from Tivat and takes approximately 105 minutes to arrive (including stops on the way).

    between the rocks

    Don't miss the trip to Ostrog Monastery. The road is worth it. After the parking lot there is an uphill climb to do on foot towards the entrance of the Monastery (except for the disabled). To get in, men also have to cover up with a kind of black skirt that is provided free of charge by the staff. Free visit to the Monastery by climbing the stairs to the church which is literally embedded in the rocks. Very special is the visit to the old part where the relic of St. Basil the founder and the hand of the martyr Stanko is kept.

    Ostrog Monastery

    We had an amazing experience on our six hours tour to Monastery Ostrog. Our driver was kind and polite. I would reccommend this tour to everyone

    Ostrog Great! But was not a tour.

    Ostrog was great, but we paid for a tour and not a transfer. The driver was not a tour guide, barely said 2 words and just dropped us off and the base of the lower and upper Monastery. Be careful as you can get cheaper transfers.. whereas a tour takes you through the monastery and gives you the history, facts and overall rundown of the place your visiting.

    Monastery Ostrog (Private tour): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.

    How much does Monastery Ostrog (Private tour) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $102 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kotor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Monastery Ostrog (Private tour) take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kotor is not rushed.

    Is Monastery Ostrog (Private tour) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kotor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Monastery Ostrog (Private tour)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Monastery Ostrog (Private tour) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Monastery Ostrog (Private tour)?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kotor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kotor and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Monastery Ostrog (Private tour) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kotor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kotor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kotor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Great Montenegro Tour-Lovcen NP,Mausoleum Lovcen,River of Crnojevic,Sveti Stefan, Kotor Bay Escape: Blue Cave, Beach & Swimming Time, Exclusive Blue Cave Kotor Swim, Mamula&Lady of the Rock 3 Hour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kotor?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kotor?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
