The Bay of Kotor is often called Europe's southernmost fjord, though it is technically a submerged river canyon.
Montenegro's name means 'Black Mountain' in Venetian Italian, referring to the dark appearance of Mount Lovcen.
Sailing into the Bay of Kotor feels like discovering a secret Mediterranean world.
- A traveler on visiting Montenegro
Montenegro is a Adriatic jewel that combines the dramatic Bay of Kotor, often called Europe's southernmost fjord, with medieval walled towns, rugged mountains, and pristine beaches along one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful coastlines. The UNESCO-listed old town of Kotor, the luxury resort island of Sveti Stefan, and the wild beauty of Durmitor National Park offer remarkable diversity in a country smaller than Connecticut. Montenegro's rapid development as a travel destination has not yet erased its authentic Balkan charm and excellent value.
