When to go to Kotor?
Where the bay narrows to something close to a fjord, mountains drop straight into the water and Kotor takes the last strip of shore behind its walls. Venetian palaces and stone lanes fill the ramparts, and 1,350 steps climb the cliff behind for a view over roofs and dark water. Out in the bay, a church on a man-made islet marks Perast.
