Perast
Perast is the best monument of the former maritime glory of the Bay of Kotor. This cosy little town seems to have grown into a rock standing above the bay. He stands on stones and is made of stone.
Magnificent palaces with elegant balconies, churches and bell towers competed here in beauty, while the glory of Perast’s sailors was known along, and sailboats came to the harbour with a rich cargo.
This was Perast in the 17th and 18th centuries. Back in the 14th century, there was a shipyard and the first naval school in the region.
Perast is best known for its two islands: Gospa od Škrpjela (Lady of the Rock) and Sveti Đorđe (St. George), where almost all boats cruising the Bay of Kotor stop and admire their beauty. Every year in July, a colourful traditional holiday, Fashinada, is held here, which is equally loved by tourists and locals.
