Situated in the beautiful Bay of Kotor, the medieval town of Perast is set just northwest of the town of Kotor in Montenegro. It serves as a great base from which to explore the scenic surrounds including the islets of St. George and the idyllic Our Lady of the Rocks church, which set on its own island. This tiny town is home to 16 churches and 17 formerly grand palazzi. Visitors can view the impressive St Nicholas' Church, which is set on a small square lined with date palms; stroll through the charming streets lined with towering Venetian Gothic buildings, and take in the beautiful views from the seaside promenade.
