Welcome to the Bay of Kotor, or "Boka Kotorska," a landscape of such dramatic beauty and rich history that it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Unmissable Towns and Villages of the Bay
Kotor: The Heart of the Bay
Protected by monumental walls that climb St. John's mountain, the Old Town is a labyrinth of cobblestone alleys and charming squares.

This tiny town, with its elegant waterfront lined with Venetian palaces and churches, is one of the most photogenic places in the country. Its view is dominated by two iconic islets.

Located at the entrance of the Bay, Herceg Novi greets visitors with its botanical charm and military history, featuring impressive fortresses like Forte Mare and Kanli Kula.

In contrast to its neighbors, Tivat represents the modern and sophisticated side of the bay, highlighted by Porto Montenegro, a luxury superyacht marina.
