Highlights
  • Perast - Arriving in Perast, boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks island
  • Our Lady of the Rocks - The legend has it that the island has been made over the centuries by local seamen who kept an ancient oath after finding the icon of Madonna and the Child on the rock in the sea on July 22, 1452. Upon returning from each successful voyage, they laid a rock in the Bay. Over time, the islet gradually emerged from the sea. The custom of throwing rocks into the sea is alive even nowadays. Every year on the sunset of July 22, an event called “FaÅ¡inada”, when local residents take their boats and throw rocks, widening the surface of the island, takes place.

Besides the church from the 17th century, there is also a museum of gifts which were mainly donated by sailors and captains who had lived through the storms, battles, and long time at the open sea.

  • Perast - We visit the main square in the middle of Perast with the church of St. Nicola’s and its impressive 55 meters high belfry. From there we continue our walk for about 1 kilometer along with the waterfront, admiring the beautiful architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries, until we meet the vehicle waiting to take us back to Kotor.

Best Tour! - We booked the private Kotor, Perast and Budva tour after reading all of the reviews. The office was so accommodating and communication was great! We were on a cruise so they helped us choose a tour and time that would fit our arrival. Slavko met us right at the port. He was INCREDIBLE. He was so fun and shared so much information. He is a great story teller. The tour was the perfect pace and he made us feel so special, even arranging for us to sit in the front of the water taxi. One of the best tours we have ever taken, because of how wonderful Slavko is. The people make the place and we will definitely be back to Montenegro! Thanks Slavko and 360Monte!
