More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the tender and the coast greets you like a folded map—stone houses perched on a low, sun-scrubbed shore, church towers stabbing the sky, and a ribbon of road that clings to the water. The van peels away from Kotor’s old port and the driver threads the panoramic road through Boka Bay. Through the window the island Our Lady of the Rock appears like a deliberate punctuation—white church, neat cove, and a story of storms and devotion.
