Coast and Townscape

Well-preserved stone houses from the 18th and 19th centuries stand by the water. Đenovići stretches along a narrow shoreline backed by steep, wooded hills; views extend towards the Luštica Peninsula and the open Adriatic. The remaining captains’ houses along the waterfront feature intricately carved stone doorframes, windows with green shutters and family coats of arms. The promenade through Đenovići is shaded by Mediterranean pines and oleanders and offers uninterrupted views across the bay. It connects the town with Baošići to the west and Bijela to the east; in both directions, a path approximately two kilometres long runs along the sea.

Culture and History

A memorial plaque for fallen fighters from the area is located at the cultural centre in Đenovići. It was erected in 1953 and is listed as a protected historical monument in the central register. The Church of Saint Simeon in Đenovići dates from the 16th century and has an old, archaic cemetery. The Church of Saint Stefan in Đenović is dated to 1870, while the Church of Saint Spyridon is dated to the period 1870–1910. The Church of Saint Nicholas in Đenović dates from the 16th–17th century.

Local tradition associates the site of Stoli on the west coast of Đenovići with the Greco-Roman settlement of Stoli (Stolium), which is said to have sunk into the sea after an earthquake. A few metres off the coast in the Stoli area, underwater remains of geometric walls have been reported. Local agriculture includes mimosas, citrus fruits and vegetables. The Mimosa Festival includes a coastal procession from Đenovići to neighbouring Baošići.

Water and Trails

Seasonal excursion boats run from Đenovići towards Rose, Žanjice, the Blue Grotto and Mamula Fortress at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor. Other boats travel into the Bay of Kotor and call at Perast, the Perast islands and Our Lady of the Rocks. Guided sea-kayaking tours pass through Đenovići and explore the coast as far as the Blue Grotto on the Luštica Peninsula.

Behind Đenovići, trails climb through Mediterranean maquis to a viewpoint. From there, views extend across the entrance to the bay, Mamula Island, the Croatian coast and Mount Orjen. A small marina continues the long tradition of boat moorings; fishing boats and small sports and leisure boats lie at anchor off the coast.
