Kotor's Mardi Gras carnival is a joyful celebration featuring costume parades and local delicacies, set against a backdrop of stunning Adriatic views. Visitors enjoy complimentary wine and food as they toast to tradition during the festival. The influence of the Venetian Empire is prominent, symbolized by the stone lion at the town gates. The carnival reflects a vibrant culture, blending local flavors with the legacy of its Venetian past, attracting those seeking a unique experience away from Venice itself.
Jovana points to a stone lion above the town gates, the symbol of Venice. The lion holds an open book, which means Kotor was semi-autonomous under the Venetian Empire.
At night, the animal heads take on an otherworldly aspect. This year, instead of Venice's overcrowded carnival, I've come to see how its legacy has lived on.
