Montenegro · Bay of Kotor
A village named for its stonemasons, whose red rock reached St Mark’s — and which the whole country now knows only as a place to queue for the ferry.
Kamenari si trova nel punto più stretto delle Bocche di Cattaro, dove lo stretto di Verige si restringe a 350 metri e il traghetto per Lepetane attraversa in cinque minuti — risparmiando una trentina di chilometri di strada attorno al fondo della baia. Il paese prende il nome dalla pietra: kamen. I suoi scalpellini lavoravano la roccia rossa della vicina Đurići, che la tradizione locale collega alla pavimentazione di San Marco a Venezia e a palazzi e chiese di Zara, Trieste, Torino e Nizza.

Population change by settlement, 2011 to 2023
Five of the six villages on this shore lost people in twelve years. Đenovići is the only one that gained, and it is also the only one with unbuilt shore left.
The riviera by size
Residents by settlement, 2023 census
Bijela alone holds more people than Kumbor, Đenovići and Đurići together — this is a shore of small villages with one town on it.

Censimenti, comune di Kamenari
Down a fifth in twenty years. Everything that made Kamenari — the quarry, the omnibus, the ferry company — was work, and the work either finished or was nationalised; what is left is a crossing people drive onto without stopping.
Kamenari has been a crossing point for as long as it has been anything. Widths are to scale.

Nel frattempo, nel 1901
Kamenari, in 1901 the Milošević and Sekulović families put a paddle boat across the Verige strait. The line has run ever since; it now carries well over a million vehicles a year.
Two years earlier — thirty-three shareholders had founded the Bokeljski Omnibus, horse-drawn carriages on the Kamenari–Herceg Novi road: the bay’s first transport company.
Stockholm: the first Nobel Prizes are awarded.
Signal Hill — Marconi hears the letter S sent across the Atlantic by wireless.
Zagreb: the narrow-gauge line to Zelenika, one bay west, is four years from opening.
“Thanks to the stone from Đurići, Kamenari is known not only in these parts but across the Atlantic.”
Total Montenegro News, on the village quarry
Local accounts credit the red Đurići stone with part of the pavement of St Mark’s in Venice, and palaces and churches in Zadar, Trieste, Turin and Nice.

Il piatto locale
The default of every konoba on this shore: whole squid over coals, blitva and potato alongside, olive oil and lemon and nothing else. Eat it looking at the strait, which is the point.

Una giornata intera
Use the ferry as the hinge of the day and you see both shores without driving the long way once.
By the ramp
Ideale per anyone catching an early flight from Tivat — you are twelve kilometres and one short crossing away
The village shore
Ideale per quiet water and a pebble beach, with the traffic behind you rather than past you
Bijela, five minutes west
Ideale per more rooms, more restaurants, the same strait
