Skip crowded Med rivieras and explore hidden gems in Montenegro and Albania
Just north of the riviera, the Bay of Kotor welcomes cruise ships throughout the summer. As picturesque ports go, this rivals the canals of Venice and the harbour of Sydney. The bay is home to a tiny man-made islet, upon which sits the 1630-built Church of Our Lady of the Rocks, and an adjoining museum. These are blessed with countless Christian treasures, and one item of Mary-abilia is a statue of the Virgin carved from an ancient olive grove. I presume this makes her extra virgin.
