Perast

Perast is a small Baroque town in the Bay of Kotor with just a few hundred inhabitants and no cars in its historic core. Along the waterfront stand stone palaces of former seafaring families, while in front of the town lie two iconic islands — Gospa od Škrpjela, an artificial island built up over centuries by throwing stones into the sea, and Sveti Đorđe with its Benedictine monastery surrounded by cypress trees. All of Perast can be explored on a leisurely stroll, and it is precisely the slow pace and absence of crowds that give it a completely different atmosphere from nearby Kotor. If you are looking for a quieter side of the Bay of Kotor, Perast is one of the most beautiful places to rest by the sea and take in the views of the bay.
