Perast, Lady of the Rocks & Lunch (Small Group)
Visit a village that seems frozen in time, then see how a man turned the love for his family's ancient mill into a thriving restaurant.
Explore Montenegro's cultural, historical, and religious influences on a scenic journey to the town of Perast. There, you'll marvel at the Baroque architecture of the Church of St. Nicholas and get amazing views of Our Lady of the Rocks, one of the two islets built on Boka Bay. Your group's next move is to the small village of Morinj for wine and lunch, courtesy of the charming Ćatovića Mlini. This 200-year-old family-owned olive and grain-grinding mill is now a world-class restaurant.
