About this tour

Perast – Our Lady of The Rocks – Saint George island – Stoliv

Perast is located in the heart of Boka Bay, at a distance of 12 km northwest of Kotor. In Perast, remains of the Neolithic culture (dating back to 3500) are found, before the new era, which speaks of its long unique history of long maritime, churches, palaces. Across the coast of Perast, near the coast, there are two beautiful islands that represent the special attraction of the city: Saint George which is natural, and the artificial island of Our Lady of the Rocks.

In the immediate vicinity of The Our Lady of the Rocks, lies St. George, an island of a completely different nature and destiny. Surrounded by stone walls, and hidden from view by the high cypress canopy, this island seems to be hiding some secret and does not allow curious eyes to disturb the somewhat creepy peace of this island.

Stoliv is a small quiet place in Boka Kotorska, not far from the town of Kotor. Founded in the fourteenth century, this small town is perfect for those who want to get away from the hustle of the city, enjoy the sea, the beach or fishing. It was named after the old custom of planting one hundred olive trees each guy before taking the bride to the altar. They say that during the reign of Venice, the village had a population of about 1,200 and had four shops, two oil mills and four bread bakeries. Interestingly, Stoliv has hardly changed all seven centuries since it existed.
