The Bay of Kotor (Montenegrin: Бока которска / Boka kotorska), also known as the Boka, is a winding bay of the Adriatic Sea in southwestern Montenegro. The bay is about 28 kilometres (17 mi) long with a shoreline extending 107.3 kilometres (66.7 mi). It is surrounded by two massifs of the Dinaric Alps: the Orjen mountains to the west (highest point is the Orjen Peak, 1,894 m, 6,214 ft), and the Lovćen mountains to the east. The bay is composed of several smaller broad bays, united by narrower channels. The bay inlet was formerly a river system. Its well-preserved medieval towns of Kotor, Risan, Tivat, Perast, Prčanj and Herceg Novi, along with their natural surroundings, are major tourist attractions. The Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
