Bay of Kotor
Why Go?
Coming from Croatia, the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska, or simply 'the Boka') starts
simply enough, but as you progress through fold upon fold of the bay and the surrounding
mountains get steeper and steeper, the beauty meter gets close to bursting. It's often de-
scribed as the Mediterranean's only fjord and even though the geological label is not
strictly correct, the mental image that phrase conjures is spot on.
The Boka's compact size means that you can choose a base and put down roots for a
week or two, spending your days exploring its hidden nooks. Active types can spend their
time kayaking, mountain biking and hiking. Culture vultures can search out interesting art
in the museums and numerous churches. History buffs can soak in the ambience of the
remnants of the various empires that have passed through. Whatever your angle, there's no
escaping the romance of this breathtaking bay.
