Itinerary

1. 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. Panoramic coastal driving to Perast (30 min), passing by Island Our Lady of The Rock

About Kotor

Kotor is a walled medieval town at the head of a winding bay in Montenegro, with mountain walls, Venetian palaces and a fortress high above.

Kotor lies at the end of the Bay of Kotor, a deep, winding inlet often described as a fjord, though it is really a drowned river canyon, with steep mountains rising directly from the water. The old town, a UNESCO site, is enclosed by Venetian-era walls and entered by the Sea Gate, and inside are small squares, a clock tower and the Romanesque cathedral of St Tryphon, consecrated in 1166.
