Boka Kotorska



         


Boka Kotorska (Bay of Kotor, Bocca di Cattaro) in Montenegro is a winding bay on the Adriatic sea. It is considered to be Europe's southernmost fjord and is composed of four smaller bays, named after the towns of Kotor, Tivat, Herceg-Novi, and Risan.

The traditional inhabitants of Boka are Serbs with some Croats (NB not Montenegrins, which are from Cetinje etc), and they are often collectively referred to as the Bokelji.

The three counties making up Boka Kotorska have a total population of 71,443 of which 76% are Serb Orthodox and 11% are Catholics:
