The boat slips away from Kotor’s stone quay as the sun leans toward the rim of the bay, and the hulking limestone walls of the surrounding hills seem to exhale. In the low light, the small artificial island of Our Lady of the Rocks looks like a deliberate punctuation mark—white church, red roof—set against a slow-moving mirror of water. For ninety minutes the tour threads the narrow spine of Boka Kotorska, where sailors once read the weather in the color of the sea and navigated by family shrines.
