At the very beginning of the famous Montenegrin serpentine there is a small pocket on the road. Leaving the car on it and approaching the road supports, you can see a breathtaking panorama of the Bay of Kotor.
Where is it located?
- The Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska) is the most picturesque fjord in Southern Europe, surrounded by majestic mountains. The best panoramic views are from:
- From the Fortress of St. John (San Giovanni) in Kotor, one of the country’s most iconic views.
- From the Lovceni Serpentine – the famous road with 25 steep turns.
- From Mt. Maestral (1749 m), the highest point of the Lovcen National Park.
What’s interesting?
- The bay consists of four bays and resembles Norwegian fjords, but with a southern flavor.
- On the background of the blue sea stand out ancient towns – Kotor, Perast, Tivat, Herceg Novi.
- The islands of Gospa od Shkrpela (Virgin Mary on the reef) and St. George look like images from a postcard.
- The sunsets here are fantastic, especially when viewed from up high.
Why visit.
- This is the best view of Montenegro that will be remembered for a lifetime.
- You can see huge cruise ships entering the bay.
- Suitable for photo hunting, especially at sunrise or sunset.
- Climbing the San Giovanni Fortress is one of the most popular adventures in Kotor (1350 steps, but it’s worth it!)
