The Bay of Kotor in Montenegro is often called Europe's most southern fjord, even though it is not a fjord because it wasn't caused by glaciers. It is a three part bay, with the back bay being where the port of Kotor is, connected by a narrow channel to the front bay, where the international yacht port of Tivat is. From the front bay, there is a longish passage that is wide that connects this to the Adriatic Sea passing by the port of Herceg Novi.
The back bay is gorgeous and where I would like to spend a few months. They fascinating thing is that because of the mountains separating the front and back bay, you could get a house that faces either the sunrise or sunset over the mountains.
The spine of mountains that separate Kotor from Tivat is traversed via tunnel that is about 1 mile long and takes an hours long journey and turns it into 10 minutes
Inside the back bay is the town of Kotor (where the ship is above). It is a gorgeous old city I have posted pictures of. Up the coastline on the right in the picture above are the towns of Dobrota and Orahavoc where you can get a nice new condo or an older village home.

Past these, the mountains jag out into the bay and there is perched the city of Perast, jewel of the bay. It is a city with scores of ancient villas, and 11 churches in a less than a half mile large. it is gorgeous, albeit old, small and expensive.
