MONTENEGRO TRIP : PERAST...

 

Greetings, friends! In a previous post (you can read it here), I wrote that we came to Montenegro to see this small but stunningly beautiful country. We stayed in the old part of Kotor and walked there a lot, but also went to a place near Which to enjoy the magnificent views. This place is Perast, and today we will talk about it.

PERAST is a small town in the Bay of Kotor, about 20 minutes by taxi from Kotor itself. Perast, despite its modest size, is very popular with tourists. In addition to the promenade along the bay with stunning views of the water in front of you and equally stunning views of the mountains behind you, there are museums, a church, a bell tower, the island of the Virgin on the reef (you can get there by boat), which, according to legend, in ser.15 centuries ago, sailors found an icon of the Mother of God. If I'm not mistaken, it was in Perast that the casino scenes from the movie "BOND 007: Casino Royale" were filmed. Since I was with my daughter, it was quite difficult for us to climb the steps to the bell tower and the church, and we limited ourselves to a walk along the Bay of Kotor. We also enjoyed the spectacular views (I think I took a million photos as a keepsake), visited a cafe, by the way, I advise you to try the "Perasha cake" (delicious homemade cake with almonds), breathed this fresh brackish air. Perastp and I spent about 1.5 hours and went back by taxi to Kotor. I am sharing with you photos from this trip so that you can feel the atmosphere and enjoy this natural beauty!

 

Thank you for your attention !
