The first cut through Boka Kotorska is a slap of cold spray and a flash of limestone cliffs, grey and sheer, that seem to have grown straight from the Adriatic. A speedboat ghosts past fishing skiffs and pastel façades; the pilot grins and accelerates as the bay opens into a series of folded inlets. By the time you round the point and catch sight of the Blue Cave’s mouth, the water has changed from Mediterranean teal to a luminous, impossible blue that looks lit from below.

The bay’s marine habitat is sensitive—choose reef-safe sunscreen to reduce chemical impact on seagrass and marine life.
