Helpfulness
This is the view of the Bay of Risan from town. The entire town is off the beaten path because of its location, and it can be easily bypassed by taking the ferry across the Bay of Kotor. It is hard to believe that this sleepy little town, population 1,500, once had 10,000 inhabitants during Roman times during the first few centuries A.D.
Its reputation of being a desirable place to live was pretty much diminished when it was sacked by the Sarcens in 865 A.D. and destroyed by an earthquake around the same time.
All of this now makes this town a perfect place to linger on a park bench admiring the view of the sea. What a nice way to spend part of a beautiful morning!
