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.

You will explore Perast with your guide and have a free time 60 min. It 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. At its heart is St Nichola's Church, set on a small square lined with date palms and the bronze busts of famous citizens.
Take some free time to explore and to full feel the spirit of the previous centuries.
