The Bay of Kotor

After enjoying a couple of days in small Dubrovnik, we grew interested in the surrounding area as well. Both Bosnia and Montenegro are only an arm's reach away, so after some research, we decided to rent our car a day early and do a day trip to Kotor, Montenegro. The drive from Dubrovnik to Kotor goes all around this beautiful bay, which is known as Montenegro's "fjord". The drive was so beautiful it just about made the trip worth it in itself! Every turn held a new beautiful landscape.  Somewhat similar to Dubrovnik, Kotor also has a small walled city with a large fortress up on a hill. After winding through the small stone streets, we hiked up to the ruins and enjoyed the breathtaking views of the valley. On the drive back to Dubrovnik, we stopped on the side of the road to enjoy an incredible sunset over the coast.

This monastery and church are build on islands in the middle of the Bay.
