The bus slows as the bay opens like a page ripped from a maritime atlas. Limestone ridges fold into water; red-tiled roofs cluster under an ancient wall; gulls wheel and call as if narrating the coastline. You step out in Kotor and the old town greets you with narrow stone alleys, churches that keep watch like old officers, and the distant, stepped silhouette of the San Giovanni fortress climbing the mountain above.
