No matter how beautiful the monuments of ancient architecture, picturesque gardens and parks are, and how warm and gentle the waters of the Adriatic Sea are, it is impossible to understand Montenegro and enjoy its beauty to the full without visiting the most fabulous land of the country, the famous Bay of Kotor with its fantastic landscapes. Even the air in the Bay of Kotor is special, filled with the aromas of the salty sea and essential plant oils. No wonder the main health resorts of Montenegro have long been located on this coast.
It is never windy here: the largest bay of the Adriatic is surrounded by beautiful mountains of soft gray and blue colors. The local gorge hides the ancient cities, like Kotor and Perast, Tivat and Herceg Novi.
The sea bay is especially beautiful from the water surface. It literally remains etched in one's memory and starts to attract travelers to its warm embrace again after a while. Be sure to look at it from a bird's eye view, from the height of the mountain peaks of Lovcen National Park, which can be easily reached both on foot and by car from the city of Kotor.
Do not forget to take a walk in the city itself, admire the Venetian heritage, look into the medieval temples. By the way, the first settlers appeared in the Bay of Kotor in the 3rd century BC. So, in terms of attractions, there is definitely something to see here.
The clear azure sea in the fishing village of Bigova, the underwater archaeological site in Rose, and the many oyster farms in Krtoli, where freshly caught or grilled smoky seafood is undoubtedly worth a try... In addition, you can visit ten ancient churches and one monastery in Krtoli.
You can go down to the sea bottom to dive among the sunken ships in a place called Krasici. The coast of the Lustica Peninsula has long been dubbed the "Montenegrin Mecca" of diving! And fans of yachting will appreciate the fashionable Porto Montenegro, the best yacht complex in the entire sunny Adriatic.
