UNESCO medieval town at the foot of a fjord — Europe's southernmost fjord.
Kotor is Montenegro's historical gem — the UNESCO-protected medieval old town is one of Europe's best preserved and sits directly at the foot of a dramatic fjord. In the impossibly narrow Bay of Kotor, golden sunlight strikes the cliffs and brings out the stone of the fortress walls. Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks island are just kilometres along the shore.
