Perast’s islets

A trip to the pretty town of Perast is a must – enjoy fresh fish in one of its restaurants that look right out onto the Bay of Kotor. From here you can also take a boat out to see two tiny but equally impressive islets. According to legend, Our Lady of the Rock was made over the centuries by local seamen who found an icon of the Madonna on the bay. Upon returning from each successful voyage, they threw a rock in the sea creating the islet, where now stands a pretty church and museum. Every year on the sunset of July 22, an event is hosted called fašinada where local residents take their boats and throw rocks into the sea.
