Perast Walking Tour
Perast, Montenegro
Why Walk Perast
Perast is a single-street village of 16th to 18th-century stone palaces on the Bay of Kotor, facing two small islands — Our Lady of the Rocks (man-made, with a church full of votive paintings) and the natural island of St. George with its Benedictine monastery. The village was a prosperous maritime town under Venetian rule and its captains were renowned throughout the Adriatic. With fewer than 300 permanent residents, it retains an intimate, timeless atmosphere.
