Perast Travel Guide

Perast, a serene baroque town on the Bay of Kotor, famed for Our Lady of the Rocks islet, a man-made island.

📍 Destination Overview

Perast is a serene, elegant Baroque town on the Bay of Kotor, which prospered under Venetian rule through seafaring and shipbuilding, leaving stone palaces and the tall tower of St Nicholas. Two islands lie offshore, above all Our Lady of the Rocks, an artificial islet built from stones cast by sailors, crowned by a church rich with frescoes and silver plaques.
