Krimovica: Platamuni, Coast and Hotels

Krimovica Between Platamuni and the Coast

When planning a stay in Krimovica, the coastal landscape and the Platamuni protected area provide the main points of reference. The protected area includes Krimovica, reaches Cape Platamuni near Ploče Beach, and covers 1,087 hectares. Nature, the sea, and the history of the local churches offer different points of interest for your trip.

Coastal Landscape and Protected Nature

Platamuni is defined by diverse wildlife and a striking coastal landscape. In the coastal sector near Krimovica, sea cliffs, pebble beaches, and sea caves are among its characteristic features. There is protected nature underwater, too: the area is home to the seagrass Posidonia oceanica. Protected land areas include Euphorbia dendroides and endemic Limonium species.

These features make the natural environment interesting both above and below the water’s surface. Platamuni offers opportunities for diving, swimming, kayaking, wildlife watching, hiking, and other activities in nature. What is possible along a particular stretch of coast depends on conditions and local access; these activities are not guaranteed to be available at every location.

Churches in Krimovica and the Surrounding Area

The Church of Saint Archdeacon Stephen stands in Krimovica. After the 1979 earthquake, it was rebuilt with professional support from the Regional Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Kotor. The church thus connects a place in the village with the history of reconstruction after the earthquake.

Another destination nearby is the Church of Saint Nicholas. It stands on a 15-meter-high rock in the sea and is dedicated to the patron saint of sailors and travelers. It is near Krimovica, not in the village itself. For travelers who want to combine coastal scenery with religious architecture, the two churches therefore differ both in location and in their historical associations.

Activities by the Sea and in the Hills

For excursions on the water, the sea near Sea Glamping offers opportunities for kayaking, diving, fishing, and boat trips. The specific activities available may depend on local operators and conditions. Platamuni also offers opportunities for swimming and observing nature. The protected area’s archaeological sites are of interest for underwater archaeology; access may require local permission or suitable conditions.

Activities offered at Ploče Beach include jet skiing, stand-up paddling, beach volleyball, table tennis, and an outdoor fitness area. These activities may be seasonal. You can plan according to your interests, from exercising on the beach to exploring the natural environment and the water, without assuming that every activity is available everywhere.

Plan Your Accommodation and Journey

Sea Glamping is located in Krimovica; its resort entrance is near Trsteno Beach and 3 km from Jaz Beach. E-bikes can be rented directly from Sea Glamping for rides in the hills above Krimovica. Before your trip, check the accommodation’s latest access information and rental availability, as these details may change.

The easiest way to reach Platamuni is by boat. The nearest marina is in Budva; there is a small pier in Bigova at the park entrance. Check current conditions if you are planning to arrive by boat. A 2016 public transport plan for Budva also envisaged seasonal route 10 between Budva and Krimovica via Jaz and Trsteno. Only plan to use this connection after checking the current timetable.

Regional Context: Kotor

In the wider travel destination of Kotor, the natural and cultural-historical region of Kotor lies on Montenegro’s Adriatic coast, in the Bay of Kotor. It covers 14,600 hectares and includes two interconnected bays surrounded by mountains that rise rapidly to almost 1,500 meters. This regional landscape provides additional context, while Platamuni is the specific natural feature associated with Krimovica.
