Ilinica

Ilinica is a hill rising above Igalo, in the Herceg Novi municipality at the western edge of the Bay of Kotor. Long overlooked even by locals, it is a quietly significant historical site: its slopes hold an old church and a monument tied to the area's French past, set among Mediterranean greenery with sweeping views over Igalo, Herceg Novi and the mouth of the bay. For visitors who enjoy a short climb rewarded by panoramic Adriatic views and a real sense of local history, Ilinica is a rewarding off-the-beaten-path alternative to the busy seafront below.
