Herceg Novi (Montenegro)

We anchored in the bay off Herceg Novi and were tendered in to the town to have a walk around and find a restaurant for our evening meal.

Herceg Novi a coastal town in Montenegro located at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and at the foot of Mount Orjen. It has about 33,000 inhabitants. Herceg Novi was known as Castelnuovo ("New castle" in Italian) between 1420 and 1797 when it was part of the Albania Venetia of the Republic of Venice. Herceg Novi has had a turbulent past, despite being one of the youngest settlements on the Adriatic. A history of varied occupations has created a blend of diverse and picturesque architectural style in the city.

The blip photo is taken on the tender as we were taken back to the boat at night. It shows the town lit up, with the castle and the lovely bay and boats.
