The town of Perast in Montenegro on the Balkan Peninsula is about a 15-minute drive from the tourist city of Kotor The most famous here are the twin islands in the Cote d'Or, Lady of Rock Island and Island of St. George. The two islands face each other and you can take a boat to the islands. The focal point of the town is the 55-meter-high bell tower of St. Nicholas Church (Crkva Sv Nikole). The town is not big and you can visit it in about half an hour without going to the island. #Island Holidays#Photography Guide for Attractions

Perast, Montenegro, a new country established in 2006, is the "sleeping beauty" of the Adriatic Sea!

Today, it is a beautiful church, and you can take a 5-euro boat ride to the island to experience the perfect fusion of faith and nature.

Don't forget to bring a good book, spend a leisurely time at a seaside cafe during the day, and you can also go out to sea to see the Blue Grotto of Montenegro. The most beautiful Perast, a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle and relax, come and experience your "Adriatic Sea dream"!

#2024mapped Lady of the Rocks #Montenegro #perast easy reachable from Perast, Montenegro. Instead of booking this via tours and travel, do it yourself, it’s way more cheaper that way. €5 to and from boat tickets from Perast. Gem. Still lake, but it was windy the day I visited, so couldn’t get the perfect reflection. But the beauty you scan see yourself!!

#2024TravelReview #Montenegro #HistoricalSite Perast is a historic town in the Kotor Bay of Montenegro✨️. Kotor is a 40-minute bus ride away, followed by a boat ride. The two small islands in the sea of ​​Perast: St. George's Rock & Our Lady of the Rocks make Perast a popular tourist destination. Legend has it that a pair of fishermen brothers found a statue of the Virgin Mary on a reef in the sea when they were returning from a voyage. Out of curiosity, they took the statue home and placed it there. Unexpectedly, when they went out to sea again the next day, they found the same statue of the Virgin Mary on the same reef. They believed it was a manifestation of the Virgin Mary and decided to build this church on this reef, that is, on the Our Lady Rock Island. It is recommended to arrange for four hours for this attraction, including taking a car and a boat to and from the attraction. Whether you look at the island from the boat or the sea on the island, it is beautiful 😍, very much like a scenic postcard 😘. #travelinspiration #coupletravel #cooltravelexperience

Near Kotor in Montenegro, there's a very famous attraction: Our Lady of the Rocks. Here, you'll find a museum and a church (Church of Gospa od Skrpjela). These iconic buildings can be seen from afar in Kotor! It's just a 20-minute boat ride from Kotor, and the buildings are unique and full of Montenegro's distinctive charm. The church with the blue dome is especially notable! The island also features marble altars, historically used by sailors to pray for safe journeys. Although it's a very small island, I personally find the buildings on it very interesting and definitely worth a visit! On this trip to Kotor, I enjoyed the free VIP lounge service as a diamond member when flying from the UK! Diamond members can enjoy up to two free accesses.

Perast is a coastal town located on the northern shore of the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. Although the town is small in size, it boasts 16 churches and 17 palaces of various sizes. The town is built facing the sea, with a winding path along the coast. Waves occasionally crash against the roadside, where tourists and vehicles coexist harmoniously. The time spent in this town is the most tranquil moment of this trip. Perast has two unique islands, known as the 'Twin Islands of the Lake.' One of the islands is called Our Lady of the Rocks, meaning the Madonna on the Reef or the Madonna on the Rock. Visitors can take a speedboat to the island for a tour. According to legend, in the 15th century, a miraculous Madonna statue was discovered on the reef, prompting the people of Perast to decide to build a church there. They began piling stones and shipwreck fragments to create this man-made island. The European-style church with its light blue roof, situated between the mountains and the sea, is breathtakingly beautiful. It is said to protect fishermen on their voyages. The other island is called St. George Island. This is a natural island, currently a private island, and is not open to the public.

#beachlife Perast, Montenegro, is nestled along the stunning Bay of Kotor, offering breathtaking views of deep, azure waters reflecting the surrounding rugged mountains. The town itself is a picturesque collection of well-preserved Baroque architecture, with charming stone buildings, palaces, and churches lining its narrow streets. The serene waterfront is dotted with quaint cafes and restaurants, providing idyllic spots to soak in the beauty. Nearby, the iconic islands of Our Lady of the Rocks and Saint George add to the enchanting landscape, making Perast a perfect blend of natural splendor and historical charm.

Visiting the Virgin of the Rock was a truly astonishing experience. The natural beauty of the island and the stunning 17th-century Baroque church were breathtaking. A meeting of history and art with a unique charm. From the outside, the temple offers a view of the beautiful blue sea of Kotor Bay. The landscape surrounding the temple was amazing. The paintings and statues attached inside the church remind us of the depth of tradition and faith. My visit was an unforgettable spiritual experience.

#freehotelstay This serene man made island is called our lady of the rocks in Montenegro is a must visit and renowned for its nature beauty along side Adriatic Sea with Black Forest on the side. The old time fishing villagers got a picture of Mary from this place and they took it back to Kotor and the next day they found the picture again at this spot. so the fishing villagers starting bringing stones one by one and made this beautiful church and island named our lady of the rocks. #montenegro #our lady of rocks #kotor #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #falltrip

|Our Lady of the Rocks (1365). The Our Lady of the Rocks in Kotor, Montenegro, originally a rock in the sea, is expanded every year on July 22nd by local residents who throw rocks into the sea from their fishing boats, gradually forming a rock fortress. The tradition of throwing rocks into the sea is still ongoing. In 1632, a Roman Catholic church was established on the island, building a church of Our Lady, which is said to protect fishermen when they go out to sea.

I only needed an hour to explore this not-so-large coastal town. In terms of size, Perast in our country might only be considered a slightly larger village. 17th-century churches, museums, beautiful palaces, and local courtyards line up along the coastal avenue, filling this place with a classical art atmosphere with a touch of Italian flavor. It's hard to imagine that in this small town with only 300 permanent residents, there are 17 palaces and 16 churches, quite incredible. The highest point of the town is the bell tower located in the central square, belonging to the St. Nicholas Church with a history of five to six hundred years. The nearly 50 cm height gives a sense of standing out from the crowd, and you can climb up this bell tower, the view is very great. I had my last dinner under the afterglow of the setting sun, and this cruise trip is also coming to an end. There is some reluctance, but isn't life always about 'parting'? This trip has still brought me some gains, I'm grateful.

#timetotravel 📌Perast, Montenegro, Balkan country 📍Bay of Kotor This is a small, quiet town with a population of less than 400 where you can escape Montenegro's busier seaside resorts such as Kotor Bay and Budva. Taking a walk along the Perast is one of the best things to do, but if you take a boat tour instead, you will enjoy more of the iconic bay views. The top attractions to visit in Perast are: Our Lady of the Rocks; St. Nikola Church; Palace Zmajevic; and Perast Museum. In summer,this tiny place is very busy and has a handful of accommodations, although it is better to book the hotel room in advance. Perast is also known as the cradle of many legends, historical sites, and the Mediterranean spirit. #beachvacation #travelinspiration #newplace #coastalbeauty #bluesea

The Republic of Montenegro, a small country that is very inconspicuous in Europe, has become a back garden for Europeans because of its beautiful scenery and low prices. There are many black mountain roads, but there is a saying called infinite scenery in the dangerous peak. On the way we walked along the mountain road, we had a lot of beautiful scenery. Figure 1

Perast Parish, the old town next to Kotor in Montenegro, can be reached by car in about half an hour. There is someone on the road to Perast, and there is a parking lot at the door, which is very convenient. In order to find the most beautiful shooting angle, I followed the predecessor's Raiders to the bell tower that is said to be full of bird droppings, but it has not allowed visitors to enter. Even if we are holding the smell of bird droppings, we must look at the ancient city. Looking for a stone step all the way up, we can find a relatively good position on the roof that looks like a residential building. The advantage is that the clock tower is also included, and finally the old city is photographed. The most beautiful scenery.
