In the middle of the bay sits Our Lady Of The Rocks, a 15th-century island church. A short boat ride from Kotor town takes you to the island, where guided tours through the church and museum are less than £1pp. THE WOW MOMENT Take … [Read more...] about Plan now, go later: Montenegro Bay offers Europe’s best scenery
