On a calm day it is such a beautiful feeling to be on the sea to feel the sea breeze as the ripples of your boat trail behind you. Moving away from the dock you can see what a charming little town Perast is and always overshadowed by the rocky cliffs towering into the sky.
On the clear waters of Boka Bay you now see both islands coming into view and the church is a spectacular site with its blue domes reflecting in the bright sun. more
During the French occupation around 1813, a small garrison was placed on the island and it is said that one of the officers fell in love with a local girl from Perast. Unfortunately, during cannon fight her house in Perast was hit killing her inside. The heartbroken officer vowed to spend the rest of his life on this island and kept a candle lit. One day the people of Perast noticed the light had gone out. He had died and requested to be buried beside his beloved.

Also not open during pandemic times. You would normally be able to climb it for €1 and see some amazing views. more

Cycling around Kotor bay is a phenomenal choice to explore the ancient settlements and history of the region. The tour starts from Old town of Kotor or Tivat, where we begin the ride. During this trip you would see some unique places such as the abandoned "Tresorela" palace, which is under UNESCO heritage and the "Temple of the Holy Mother", the largest Catholic church in the region. Later you would enjoy a short ferry ride to cross the bay to the other side. Cycling to Risan and Perast for a short break and refreshment at a local bar would make you enjoy the view of the bay. Than you would have a short boat tour to visit small island with Church of Our Lady of the Rock in Perast. After that we would continue cycling to the starting point, but meanwhile you would see some historical places like Our Lady of the Angel, Verige pass and several more. The tour is 45 km and it is all flat terrain except for one short uphill. It is mostly on the main road also used for cars, so be careful.
