PERAST BOAT TOUR

PRIVATE PERAST BOAT TOUR

BOAT TOUR TO PERAST AND LADY OF THE ROCKS

• Meeting at agreed time.
• Panoramic ride with splendid views of the Kotor bay - on the way we will pass near some recognizable landmarks like St. Mateus church and the Temple of Our Lady.
• Our Lady of the Rocks - a visit to this artificial island made in the XV century. The islet was made over the centuries by local seamen who kept an ancient oath after finding the icon of Madonna and Child on the rock in the sea on 22 July 1452. Upon returning from each successful voyage, they laid a rock in the Bay. Over time, the islet gradually emerged from the sea.
  There is a church and a museum. The present church was built by Venetians in 1630 and it houses numerous works of art made by the famous local painter Tripo Kokolja as well as numerous silver and gold plates – gifts from seamen as a token of gratitude.
  The museum includes a special curiosity - a unique tapestry hand made by Jacinta Kunić-Mijović. The tapestry took over 25 years to complete and is partially made from her own hair!
• Perast - a famous maritime town with it's Clock Tower built in 1713, at that time one of the tallest one Europe. You can enjoy strolling down the narrow streets and admiring beautiful baroque palaces, or enjoy the view from one of local restaurant terraces.
• Back to Kotor marine.
