Our Lady of the Rocks

After meeting your guide in Kotor, your journey begins along panoramic coastline road to Perast. We will pass by the island Our Lady of the Rock. According to a legend, fisherman from Perast, after a shipwreck found an icon of the Holy Mother of God with the Christ on a sea rock. It was the sign from God, and the people decided to make an island and build a church at that place. As the island had to be maintained, the seaman continued to bring the stones and spread the island. This tradition is alive even today through the custom Fashinada. Every year on the 22nd of July the people are bringing the stones and sink it around the island. Panoramic coastal driving to Perast (20 min), passing by Island Our Lady of The Rock

Perast

You will explore Perast with your guide. After exploring Perast, you'll have between 45 minutes to 60 minutes of free time to relax along the Bay of Kotor's waterfront. Whether you stroll the promenade, swim in the crystal-clear waters, savor local specialties by the sunset, or opt for a boat ride to the Island, you'll have the opportunity to experience this part of the coast the way you desire. Perast is UNESCO protected baroque city which is also known as a town-museum. The city looks like mosaic made from tens exceptional baroque palaces, 17 churches and many stone houses with a fortress behind and two pearly beautiful islands: Our Lady of the Rock and St. George. Looking like a piece of Venice that has floated down the Adriatic and anchored itself onto the Bay of Kotor, Perast unselfishly shares memories of the days when it was rich and powerful. Take some free time (45min - 60min)to explore and to full feel the spirit of the previous centuries.
