Perast & Boka Bay
Moderate Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Get to know beautiful Montenegro with a delightful sight-seeing cruise on the Adriatic Sea, before enjoying a walking tour around historic Perast.
Your unique, and highly active adventure starts at Kotor pier for the hour-long cruise along the deep blue waters of Boka Bay, which is surrounded by dramatic high cliffs.
Once your boat has moored at the charming Our Lady of the Rocks Island, your guide will escort you to the pretty 'Gospa od Skrpjela' Baroque Church. Legend has it that seaman who swore an ancient oath created the island, and that after each voyage, returning sailors would lay a rock in the bay until the islet emerged from the sea.
This wonderful church contains 68 magnificent paintings by Tripo Kokolja, a famous 17th century artist from nearby Perast. His most famous painting, the 'Death of the Virgin', is housed here, and measures some 33 feet in length.
After you have toured the church, you will climb back onto the boat for the short cruise to Perast, which is arguably the best-preserved Baroque city in Montenegro. It flourished during the 18th century when it had four busy shipyards, and a fleet of one hundred ships. The old city, including the Bujovic Palace, boasts nine defensive towers which were built by the Venetian navy in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Stroll the town's narrow streets, admiring the many listed Baroque homes, before visiting the Church - Museum and Treasury of St. Nicholas. The church treasury preserves artistic paintings and valuables, church vestments from previous times, an embroidered chasuble, as well as the relics of various saints.
After you've had time to soak up more of this glorious town, your motor launch will take you back to Kotor.
