A coastal road unfolds like a live map as the minivan slips over the border from Croatia into Montenegro. Sea air sharpens; limestone cliffs and pine-scarred slopes push close to the road while the Bay of Kotor opens like a fjord inverted, its waters daring the traveler to look deeper. Your driver parks beneath crenellated walls; cobbles click underfoot as narrow alleys funnel you toward squares bright with café chatter.
