Description

Places we visit are the main symbols of Kotor Bay, southernmost fjord in Europe which is protected by UNESCO.
As a local, I can say many things about Perast, but it should be enough if I tell you that as we drive there, as soon as visitors see Perast and its islands even from a distance, their cameras are clicking and their minds are blown by its beauties.
The town is very small, but it has over 20 Venetian Baroque palaces all around that give special charm to the town.
"The Pride of Perast" and its main attraction is Our Lady of the Rocks, a man-made islet built on top of the reef. In it's church and treasury culture and history of the area are kept(eg. An embroidery that artist made with her natural hair).
Kotor Old Town adds up to Venetian ambient we felt in Perast and like we use a time machine we are back to medieval times (palaces, cathedrals, piazza's & museum)
To complete the essentials of the puzzle, a photo from scenic Kotor Bay viewpoint will be a perfect memory that will make you come back!

Know Before You Go

During the tour, we will be in a UNESCO area, overlooking one of the most beautiful fjords in the world, the bay of Kotor. Perast, a well preserved Venetian baroque town with 300 inhabitants but 22 churches with every house being a palace will blow your mind.

The island of Our Lady of the Rocks, the most visited monument in Montenegro, is a place where people on 21 ft² (2m²) rock, by throwing stones around it built a 32292 ft² (3000 m²) island.

A viewpoint above Kotor Bay is absolutely breathtaking (I uploaded a photo from there for tour photos).

Finally, we will visit Kotor Old Town and enjoy this medieval gem by visiting it's baroque and Renaissance squares, orthodox and Catholic churches overlooking long walls with mountain views in the background.
