Boka kotorska (Bay of Kotor), Kotor
The Bay of Kotor, or Boka Kotorska, stands as one of the most stunning bays along the Adriatic coast. Spanning over 28 kilometers, it has witnessed the rule of various empires and civilizations, including the Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, and Austrian empires, each leaving a mark on the region. It later became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia before attaining independence as part of Montenegro.
No matter how extensive your vocabulary, the breathtaking beauty of the Bay leaves one at a loss for words. Enclosed by imposing cliffs and transitioning between tranquil gulfs and sparkling straits, this cobalt-blue expanse defies easy categorization. Is it a fjord? A submerged canyon? The answer remains elusive, but one thing is certain: this destination must be experienced firsthand to be fully appreciated.
