About this activity
This tour involves Kotor walking tour and Perast walking tour with Our lady of Rocks visit. Tour includes some of the richest cultural places on the Montenegrin coast. Kotor is situated in one of the 20 most beautiful bays in the world, a city of traders and famous sailors. The old town of Kotor is a well preserved urbanization typical of the construction between the XII and XIV century. Medieval architecture and numerous monuments of cultural heritage have made Kotor a UNESCO -s list of "World Natural and Cultural Heritage". Perast is surely one of the most beautiful places in Boka Kotorska. Today it is often called the quietest town in Boka. Numerous narrow streets and baroque palaces which provide evidence of the previous rich lifestyle of the inhabitants, testify to the richness of the Bay of Kotor sometimes, on days when there used to be a luxurious life of its inhabitants. Perast used to be a town of sailors and for being known outside the territory of Montenegro. We can see even today the famous stone houses and captains mansions built in Baroque style. We visit the Our Lady of the Rocks, an artificial island in front of Perast made in the late 15th century, where, at least according to tradition, the brothers from Perast found the painting of Our Lady, and the citizens of Perast in 1452 decided to build a temple in office Mother of God. Rocks were piled around the site and a chapel built on it. Then, in Fasinada, traditional custom, they unloaded the rocks for centuries, sank dilapidated boats and Turkish ships, so that over time the surface of the island is increasingly spreading.
