About the area

Sutorina is the flat green valley behind Igalo, and it feels like a different country from the coast a few kilometres away. Fields, orchards, stone houses and the Sutorina river running down to the bay replace the seafront crowds, and the hills close it in on both sides. The sea is about three kilometres away, near enough for a morning swim, while the Debeli Brijeg border crossing sits roughly 1.6 kilometres up the road, which makes this a natural pause on the Herceg Novi to Dubrovnik drive rather than somewhere you have to detour to reach.

That position opens up both directions. North across the border lie Konavle's vineyards and Dubrovnik's walls, under an hour away when the crossing is clear. South and east, the coast road leads into Igalo with its mud baths and promenade, then to Herceg Novi's old town, then around the Boka to Kotor and Perast, with the Kamenari ferry cutting the journey. The valley itself rewards slow exploration on foot: farm tracks, olive terraces, small chapels, and the roadside restaurants that cook the food this hinterland is good at, lamb, cheese, honey and bread from a wood oven.
