The road out of Dubrovnik peels away from the stone facades and plunges toward the sea; the Adriatic tightens into the fjord-like inlet of the Bay of Kotor, where mountains press close and the water dares you to look deeper. A private driver guides a small group through hairpin turns and coastal light, pausing in Perast to watch baroque palaces lean toward the quay and in Kotor to thread medieval alleys beneath crumbling fortifications.
