Understand

The Bay of Kotor is a stunning natural marvel composed of four smaller gulfs - the gulf of Herceg Novi, gulf of Tivat, gulf of Risan, and gulf of Kotor. Connected by narrow straits and covering a total area of 88 square kilometers, this bay is a sight to behold. Often referred to as Europe's southernmost fjord, it is actually a submerged river canyon. Surrounding the bay are three municipalities - Kotor, Herceg Novi, and Tivat, each with its own unique cultural blend. With its Serbian, Montenegrin, and Croatian communities, this region represents a vibrant tapestry of ethnic diversity.
