Montenegro by Land & Boat

Porto Montenegro Our Lady of the Rocks

Sail to the poetic Our Lady of the Rocks islet by boat, visit its incredible church, then head to Perast for a guided tour on foot.

Take a ride over to Montenegro's port where your boat awaits. Here you'll see Boka Bay's rugged shoreline on a scenic ride to Our Lady of the Rocks islet. Built around a rock where an image of the Madonna was found in 1452, the islet has a Baroque-style church that includes paintings by Kotor's famed artist Tripo Kokolja. Afterward, you'll sail to the seaside town of Perast for a guided tour, before enjoying free time to uncover this medieval city on your own.
