Herceg Novi

Herceg Novi stretches along the entrance of the Bay of Kotor at an elevation of 40 meters, with stone buildings cascading down to the Adriatic Sea.

King Tvrtko I established the fortress in 1382 as a strategic port named Sveti Stefan, which later transformed into a trading center between inland regions and maritime routes.

The Clock Tower from 1667 and the Kanli Kula fortress from the 16th century demonstrate the architectural influences of Ottoman, Venetian, and Austro-Hungarian periods.

The Mediterranean climate provides 200 sunny days annually, with summer water temperatures ranging between 22 and 26 degrees Celsius for swimming and water activities.

The Savina Monastery complex contains three separate churches built in different centuries, preserving religious artifacts and manuscripts from the 17th century onwards.
