Best: Late Spring (May-June), Early Autumn (September-October)
Mediterranean with orographic rainfall making it one of Europe's wettest spots
Kotor Bay sits at the base of steep mountains that force moist Adriatic air sharply upward, creating rainfall levels rivaling Bergen. Winters are mild but dramatically wet with waterfalls cascading down cliff faces. Summers are warm and significantly drier with excellent swimming conditions. The fjord-like bay creates its own microclimate with calm morning waters.
