Koštajnica strings along the inner shore of the Bay of Kotor between Risan and the Verige narrows, with the mountains dropping almost straight into water that stays dark and glass-still for most of the summer. The village looks across the bay to Perast and its two islets — Our Lady of the Rocks, raised on a man-made reef, and St George with its cypresses — and the view changes hour by hour as the light moves around the walls of the bay. There is no strip of bars here and no resort: the shoreline is stone steps, small jetties, moored boats and fig trees leaning over the road.
Days are shaped by the water and by short drives. Perast is minutes away around the shore, its baroque palaces and the bell tower of St Nicholas facing the islets, and boats run out to Our Lady of the Rocks from the quay. Risan, the oldest settlement on the bay, keeps a set of Roman floor mosaics including a celebrated depiction of Hypnos, the god of sleep. Kotor's walled Old Town and the climb to San Giovanni fortress are a short drive south, and the ferry at Kamenari cuts across the narrows toward Tivat and the outer bay.
