Rose

Rose sits at the very tip of the Luštica peninsula, where the Bay of Kotor finally gives way to the open Adriatic. It is the kind of place that rewards those who make the small effort to reach it: there are no cars here, only a slender ribbon of weathered stone houses tracing the shoreline, fishing boats nodding in a tiny harbour, and water so clear you can count the pebbles several metres down. The village was once a strategic lookout guarding the mouth of the bay, and the Austro-Hungarian fortifications that still stand are a reminder of how prized this narrow channel has always been.
