Full-Day Tour Bay of Kotor Perast Kotor and Budva small group from Dubrovnik

Montenegro offers enjoying in spectacular nature, a complete relaxation, rest, great fun, adrenaline breakthroughs and research excitements. With a climate quite similar to Croatian, the Montenegrin coast attracts tourists with its long, sandy and rocky beaches. Although a small country in terms of population counted in thousands, it is abundant in many attractions. At the point where the Kotor and Risan Bay split up, lies the town of Perast. Although small, it is abundant in numerous buildings such as churches, chapels, palaces ... Near Perast there is the islet of Gospa od Škrpjela (Our Lady of the Rocks), artificially created by bulwark of rocks, on which there is the church of the same name with a votive Shrine of the Sailors. Perast reflects the eternal conflict between stone and sea, enduring for centuries the strong gusts of waves lifted by the wind. One of the folk customs in Perast is Fašinada, held on July 22nd. It is about finding a picture of Our Lady on the rocks, celebrating thus the beginning of the construction of the islet of Our Lady of the Rocks. Every year on this day the locals take their boats and throw rocks into the sea around the islet. This custom is symbolic, but it has a practical benefit, since the sea takes away the rocks on which the islet was built. The town of Kotor is surrounded by 4 km long walls with 3 entrances into the town. Within the walls there is the Cathedral of St. Tryphon, who is also the patron of the town. Apart from the Cathedral, in Kotor there are also the Rector's Palace, the building of Napoleon’s theater, Arsenal, the Church of St. Clara with Franciscan monastery, the Česma Karampana (Karampana well), the town tower... At each step of the way you can feel ancient tradition of the town that always warmly welcomed its visitors, hosted them and charmed them with the magic of its entangled narrow streets and squares, old buildings, churches, town walls... Blend of past and present of the old town of Kotor gives it a special charm that makes the visitors keep coming back. In the Bay of Kotor many battles for territorial supremacy were led in the old times, and sailing down the bay you can almost hear the echoes of the soldiers in a battle for homeland defense... The town of Budva is known as the "metropolis of tourism" in Montenegro because it is the most visited destination in the country. The panorama of Budva Riviera comprises picturesque, in natural beauties abundant towns that give this part of the coast a unique charm. Particularly interesting is the island of St. Stephen with a monastery and 1 km long sandy beach Jaz.
