Bay of Kotor

城市概覽

The bay is composed of 4 smaller gulfs: gulf of Herceg Novi, gulf of Tivat, gulf of Risan and gulf of Kotor. The first 2 are connected via the Kumbor strait, while the Verige strait connects the gulf of Tivat with the gulfs of Risan and Kotor. The total area equals 88 square kilometres. Due to its unusual look, the bay is often called Europe's southernmost fjord, but in fact it's a submerged river canyon. The territory of the bay of Boka Kotorska is divided into 3 municipalities: Kotor, Herceg Novi and Tivat. It's a multiethnic region, with a Serb majority in the municipalities of Herceg Novi and Tivat, a Montenegrin majority in Kotor, and a sizeable Croat minority in Kotor and Tivat.
