Tour Highlights & Itinerary
- St. Matthew’s Church (Scenic Panoramic Cruise)
Setting sail from the Port of Kotor, our journey begins with a panoramic view of the beautiful 16th-century St. Matthew’s Church. Standing elegantly right at the water’s edge, this historic stone temple houses an impressive collection of sacred sculptures and master paintings, most famously the Renaissance masterpiece Madonna and Child by the legendary Italian painter Giovanni Bellini.
- Â The Microclimate of Stoliv
We then glide past Stoliv, a peaceful, wonderfully preserved fisherman’s settlement dating back to the 14th century. Frozen in time, Stoliv is geographically famous for the unique convergence of mountain and sea winds. This creates a powerful therapeutic microclimate mixed with 548 types of local healing herbs, making it a historic haven for respiratory health.
- Â Our Lady of the Rocks Islet (Guided Stop)
Next, we step ashore at Our Lady of the Rocks (Gospa od Å krpjela). This magnificent artificial island was built stone by stone by local sailors starting in 1412. You will have dedicated time to explore the stunning 17th-century Catholic church and its adjoining museum, which is packed with precious silver votive offerings, historical artifacts, and maritime tapestries.
- Perast Old Town & Museum Visit (The Main Destination)
Our final stop is Perast, an open-air museum filled with grand Baroque palaces and towering stone churches from the Venetian era. Enjoy a guided walking tour through the romantic cobblestone streets, take in the majestic coastal atmosphere, and enjoy a dedicated visit to the Perast Heritage Museum to discover the town’s epic naval history and aristocratic past.
