Rick Steves: The unpolished beauty of Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor
An hour’s drive south of Dubrovnik, I cross into the proud little country of Montenegro. Driving along the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, I catch sight of the humble town of Perast. In front of the church, young hunks clad in swim trunks jockey to take tourists out on dinghies to the island in the middle of the bay. According to legend, fishermen saw Mary in the reef and began a ritual of dropping a stone on the spot every time they sailed by.
Dubrovnik seems to be everyone’s top stop in Croatia. While it’s a great city, if you’ve come this far, make it a point to venture into Montenegro — just a quick drive or bus ride south. One of Europe’s youngest nations awaits with dramatic scenery, locals eager to show off their unique land, and a refreshing rough-around-the-edges appeal.
Still, nothing can mar the natural beauty of Montenegro’s mountains, bays, and forests. For anyone interested in getting a look at the untamed Adriatic, a spin on the winding road around Montenegro’s steep and secluded Bay of Kotor is a must.
