Visit Kotor bay in Montenegro - one of the most scenic and picturesque places on the Adriatic Sea.

It is also the biggest bay on the Adriatic. Because of its strategic importance in this turbulent region, it has been under

rule by different nations. Each of them leaves a mark that can be seen today through a beautiful blend of architectural

influences. Romans, Turks, Venetians, Austrians - each nation left a mark on this region and its cities. After departure

from Dubrovnik and a scenic drive through Konavle valley, we enter Montenegro where we make a short stop at

Verige to take photos of the beautiful landscape just before entering Kotor bay. We continue our drive along the coast

through Risan and Perast, to reach Kotor. Often called the best preserved and prettiest town in Montenegro, this

UNESCO-listed fortified city is famous for its city walls, a display of Venetian-inspired architecture, beautiful churches,

and rich history of maritime trade and shipping.

Whether it was independent, or as a part of the Byzantine empire, Serbian kingdom or the Venetian republic, Perast

may be one of the most historically intriguing places in Boka Kotorska. Its peak was under Venetian rule when it had

four active shipyards and a fleet of a hundred ships. Baroque, renaissance palaces and narrow streets in Perast will

take you back to a time when the city’s residents lived in luxury and wealth. In Perast, you have the opportunity to

take a boat and visit Our Lady of the Rocks. The legend says that in 1452 two brothers found Mary’s picture on a rock

in the sea. This led to a miraculous healing of one of the brothers. Ever since locals have been bringing rocks and

sinking ships next to this rock. An island was formed and first a chapel was built, then a church in its place. Some call

it the Croatian Sistine chapel because of the artwork that enriches its walls.
