Attractions of Boka Kotorska

Boka Kotorska is the largest bay on the Adriatic Sea. It consists of four bays: Herceg Novi bay Tivat bay, Risan bay and Kotor bay. The attractions of Boka Kotorska are numerous and the captain's and fisherman settlements are especially interesting for all travellers. It is almost impossible to visit Boka without seeing Ljuta, Dobrota, Orahovac or Stoliv.


Ljuta

Ljuta

LJUTA is a very small fishermen village in Boka Kotorska. It is located between Kotor and Perast and lies on the river Ljuta, which springs from the mountain above the bay. Ljuta is known for its beautiful stone houses and palaces, as well as small sandy beaches. Each stone palace in Ljuta is made of white stone, which has not been destroyed or damaged over time, and in its appearance this small town resembles Perast. Houses and palaces date back to the 17th and 18th century, when the Bay of Kotor was ruled by the Venetian Republic.

Stoliv

Stoliv

STOLIV is another fishermen village. It is located at the end of Vrmac peninsula. If visitors take a look at the map, they will find Stoliv on the opposite side of Perast. Stoliv is the least sunny spot in Bokokotorska bay, which is why Camellia, a flower that poorly tolerates strong and direct sun, blooms there. The "Camellia Days" festival is held in Stoliv every year in April. According to legend, in 1870, for the love of his wife, a seaman brought from faraway Japan seedlings of this beautiful flower and so camellia remained to bloom only in Stoliv even today.
