Ada Bojana, nestled in the southernmost part of Montenegro near the Albanian border, is a triangular-shaped island where the Bojana River meets the Adriatic Sea. This unique island, created by a 19th-century shipwreck and subsequent river sediment deposits, offers a blend of natural beauty and a laid-back atmosphere.
