During the journey to Boka Kotor Bay, our guides will tell you a lot of interesting things about the places where you live. The drive is not long, only about 30 minutes. This city, a true medieval pearl of the Adriatic coast, offers a walking tour that will take you closer to its rich history and culture. But, be careful! Enchanted by the beauty of this place, tourists sometimes get lost for a long time in the intricate streets and labyrinths of Kotor! Upon arrival, you will have a walking tour of the ancient cityKotor. This is a real treasure of Montenegro with its medieval history and culture. Its intricate labyrinths and hidden places will captivate you for life! Together with our guide, you will see the chambers of aristocratic families in which they lived and ruled the entire city, learn the story of St. Tryphon, the patron saint of the city of Kotor, and get acquainted with the Cathedral of St. Tryphon (Tripuna 1166) - one of the oldest functioning temples on the Adriatic. You will visit the Orthodox monastery of St. Nicholas, where, just like in the monastery of Ostrog, you can light candles for Health and Repose, write notes, and of course go to the famous church of St. Luke - one of the apostles of Jesus Christ. It is unique in that it has been preserved to this day since 1195 in its original appearance and after the great earthquake of 1979, one of the few buildings that have remained to this day!

It is impossible to remain indifferent at the sight of the delightful architecture of the chambers of the rulers of the city, but the most powerful impressions await you in one of the oldest Christian churches on the Adriatic coast - in Cathedral of St. Tryphon (Tripuna 1166). By the way, Saint Tryphon is considered the heavenly patron of Kotor.

A visit to the Orthodox monastery of St. Nicholas, which is included in the list of best monasteries and churches in Montenegro is a real gift for all believers, as is the excursion to the monastery Ostrog. Here you can venerate ancient images, submit notes about the health and repose of relatives and loved ones, and light candles. On the territory of the monastery, like a precious ark, stands the small church of the Apostle Luke: its architectural appearance has not changed since the Byzantine era, since 1195. Even the 1979 earthquake did not cause any damage to the temple, which was perceived by believers as a miracle.

Also, our guide will give you some free time for an independent walk around the Old Town. You can sit in local restaurants, drink soft drinks and simply buy various souvenirs and things for yourself and your family! We say this: The best way to see the Old Town of Kotor is to get lost in it! :) But don’t worry, because you’re unlikely to get lost, since the whole city is just 5-10 minutes along or across.

From Kotor we’ll head along the coast of the Bay of Kotor past coastal villages, admiring the scenery. And in about 40 minutes one of the oldest cities on the coast awaits us - Perast. This is the famous refuge of all Montenegrin captains and sailors.

There was a nautical school in Perast - one of the first in the world. The head of this educational institution was the great Montenegrin navigator and shipbuilder Marko Martinovich, through whose efforts this place became famous throughout Europe. Russian Tsar Peter the Great, the creator of the Russian Navy, sent 17 young men from boyar families here for training. It was these young people who later became the first officers of the young Russian Baltic Fleet. Perast is perfectly preserved; for five centuries it was a border town. The Venetians and the Austro-Hungarian Empire left a rich architectural heritage; this is where you can admire Baroque masterpieces, luxurious palaces and fortifications. During its heyday, Perast received enormous privileges from the Venetian Republic, a kind of medieval offshore, thanks to which the townspeople became fabulously rich. The city's own fleet in the 18th century numbered more than a hundred ships, trade was carried out throughout the Adriatic, and the income was partly used to decorate the city. No wonder the bell tower of Perast is considered the highest (and most expensive!) on the eastern shore of the Adriatic! Today, Perast has several times fewer inhabitants than three centuries ago, and the city has turned into one of the most popular tourist sites on the coast.

And very close are two islands: Sveti Georgia (St. George, also known as the Island of the Dead with cypress trees) and Gospa od Shkrpela (Holy Mother of God or as they also call it - Mother of God on the Reef), which is the patroness of all sailors and captains. We'll take you on a boat and sail to the islands.

Its area is 3030 m2, we will visit with you a Catholic church with an unusual altar made of four types of marble: yellow, brown, white and gray-green - this particular Greek subspecies no longer exists in the world. Previously, 20 kg of silver were given for 1 kg of marble. You will see the largest collection of sailors' amulets in Europe - silver, bronze and gold coinage - about 2,500 pieces. A functioning organ that is over 300 years old and a Murano glass chandelier (150 years old). And later we will go up to the second floor of the church to the maritime museum with various archaeological finds and gifts from sailors!
