The Bay of Kotor is not a single bay but a system of four interconnected basins, each with its own character and its own treasures. The outer bay opens to the Adriatic near Herceg Novi, while the inner bay narrows to a fjord-like channel before widening again around the medieval cities of Perast and Kotor. Sailing through all of them in sequence is one of the great maritime journeys in Europe.

Along the way, the landscape changes constantly — from open water and island fortresses to narrow channels with mountains rising almost vertically from the shore. The towns of Herceg Novi, Risan, Perast, and Kotor each have their own remarkable history and architecture, visible in full only from the water.
