Prevlaka, Peninsula at southern Croatia.
Prevlaka is a narrow peninsula on Croatia's southern coast that extends into the entrance of the Bay of Kotor. The terrain features rocky formations and old fortress remains perched on the cliffs.
The Republic of Ragusa acquired the peninsula in the early 15th century and built a fortress at Cape Ostro. These fortifications served to control the strategic passage into the bay.
The peninsula shows traces of multiple cultures that were present here over centuries, from ancient times through the Habsburg period. Visitors can see remnants of these different eras scattered across the landscape today.
Visitors reach the peninsula through the Konfin border crossing, which connects Croatia to Montenegro. The best time to explore is during calmer weather, as the area can be windy and exposed.
Cape Ostro at the southern tip of the peninsula marks Croatia's southernmost mainland point. From there, visitors can see across the maritime border toward Montenegro on the opposite shore.
