€15 PER PERSON!? Decent view, poor maintenance, no upkeep. Can’t justify the price now it’s doubled!
Castle Of San Giovanni的点评
点评:Looking at Kotor this is one of the most praised about activity’s so my wife and I put it on the list. When you get to the start (we started on the left hand side of the old city), you are met by the “boarder control” who have INCREASED THE PRICE TO €15 PER PERSON, not €8. When I asked why, he simply said “that was last year price, new year price is €15”.
After watching a lot of people turn around, we decided it was on the list for a reason. We bit the bullet, paid €30 to do it (almost $60 in our currency and a decent dinner somewhere else, or most of a tank of gas).
The track is okay. For the vast majority of it has stairs on the wall side of the track which are good, and the left side is stone. Some parts of the stone path is laid out nicely and can be walked on, other times it’s loose and not walkable. There are a few times were you can get lost in ruins, as there are about 2 signs to get to the top.
The walk itself is good, it can be challenging at times and takes your breath a bit, but with the stone paths being in poor quality giving way and catching your breath is helpful.
Once at the top, you are greater with a spectacular view, it looks similar to the one at the top of the serpentine road (which is a lot cheaper to access if you drive). The ruins itself is not maintained at all. Rubbish everywhere, graffiti plastered around, bottles wedged in and all sorts. Disappointing from an environmental end as it’s definitely not looked after at all.
We tried a different exit (right hand side) and the €15 gate was there as well. Other tourists were annoyed about the price increase too and walked away. Lots of questions being asked to the gate man about where the money goes and what it is used for, which he didn’t respond to…
Would I do it again, no. Would I recommend it for €15… probably not unfortunately. The €15 needs to go to upkeep and maintenance along with picking up rubbish and making it a cleaner space.
翻译:看看科托尔,这是最受赞誉的活动之一,所以我和妻子把它列入了名单。当你到达起点时(我们从老城的左侧出发),你会遇到“边境检查”人员,他们将价格提高到每人 15 欧元,而不是 8 欧元。当我问为什么时,他只是说“那是去年的价格,新年的价格是 15 欧元”。
看着很多人转身,我们决定把它列入名单是有原因的。我们咬紧牙关,花了 30 欧元去参加(相当于我们货币的近 60 美元和在其他地方吃的一顿像样的晚餐,或者大部分油箱的汽油)。
这条路还不错。绝大多数路段的墙壁一侧都有楼梯,质量很好,左侧是石头。石头路的某些部分布局很好,可以走,其他时候则很松散,不能走。有几次你可能会在废墟中迷路,因为那里只有大约 2 个路标指向顶部。
步行本身很不错,有时会很有挑战性,会让你喘口气,但由于石头路质量很差,所以让路并喘口气是有帮助的。
一旦到达顶部,你就会看到更壮观的景色,它看起来与蜿蜒道路顶部的景色相似(如果你开车的话,到达那里要便宜得多)。废墟本身根本没有维护。到处都是垃圾,到处都是涂鸦,瓶子塞在里面,还有各种各样的东西。从环境角度来看,这令人失望,因为它肯定没有得到照顾。
我们尝试了另一个出口(右手边),那里也有 15 欧元的门。其他游客也对价格上涨感到恼火,于是就走了。门卫问了很多问题,比如钱去了哪里,用来做什么,他没有回答……
我会再来一次吗,不会。我会推荐它 15 欧元吗?很遗憾,可能不会。这 15 欧元需要用于保养和维护,以及清理垃圾和清洁空间。
