The Bay of Kotor is a stunning natural wonder consisting of four smaller gulfs. These include the gulf of Herceg Novi, gulf of Tivat, gulf of Risan, and gulf of Kotor. The gulfs of Herceg Novi and Tivat are connected through the exciting Kumbor strait. Meanwhile, the narrow Verige strait creates a thrilling connection between the gulf of Tivat and the gulfs of Risan and Kotor. With a total area of 88 square kilometers, this bay is truly impressive. Often referred to as Europe's southernmost fjord, the Bay of Kotor is a sight to behold. However, it's not actually a fjord but a submerged river canyon. Its unique appearance sets it apart from other natural wonders. The gulf of Herceg Novi beautifully empties into the sparkling Adriatic Sea, adding to the bay's allure. Surrounding the bay of Kotor is a diverse region, divided into three municipalities: Kotor, Herceg Novi, and Tivat. Each municipality contributes to the multiethnic makeup of the area. With a Serbian majority in Herceg Novi and Tivat, a Montenegrin majority in Kotor, and a notable Croatian minority in Kotor and Tivat, this region is a vibrant mosaic of cultures. Come and explore the Bay of Kotor for an unforgettable adventure.
