The skiff slips from Dobrota while the limestone ridges around the Bay of Kotor hold their breath. Salt and citrus float on the air; fishermen in tucked harbors haul nets while the mountains—grey, layered, and abruptly steep—frame every horizon. In ninety minutes you thread a living postcard: a tiny man-made islet crowned by a 15th-century church, and a baroque village whose bell towers still count ship arrivals.
