Kotor Bay: Montenegro’s Fjord-Like Masterpiece

#hellohalloween
#kotorbay

Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), Europe’s southernmost fjord (it’s a submerged river canyon), snakes 28 km inland with sheer limestone cliffs plunging into emerald Adriatic waters.

UNESCO Old Town: Medieval Kotor, walled since Illyrian times, boasts Romanesque St. Tryphon Cathedral (1166), 1,350-step fortress hike for panoramic bay views, and narrow marble lanes hiding palaces and cats—Kotor’s mascots.

Villages: Charming Perast with Baroque palaces and Our Lady of the Rocks island church (man-made, built on reef with sunken ships); Risan’s Roman mosaics.

Activities: Kayak to Gospa od Škrpjela, cruise to Blue Cave, hike Lovćen for bay vistas. Dramatic, historic, serene—Montenegro’s crown jewel. ⛪🌊
