Popular among tourists in the 60s and 70s, the country became known as the “St Tropez of the Adriatic” for its pristine beaches and glamour. You will drive alongside the Kotor Bay which is Europe’s most southern Fjord.  The intimate Boutique Hotel Forza Mare is ideally located in Dobrata, close to Kotor with a private beach and luxury spa and is in a perfect position to explore the charming town of Kotor.
