Unless you are an experienced long distance swimmer in a wet suit, do what everyone else does-- take a water taxi. Built on a man-made island, this charming little active Catholic Chapel houses some interesting and probably unique votives. Ranging from wedding bouquets to an intricate tapestry made over 25 years with the weavers hair woven into the design. The resulting eyestrain cost the weaver her sight but her precision handiwork remains for all to see

This edifice was erected by members of the Mazarovic family. The church was constructed along with a monastery for Venetian Franciscans who came to Perast at the invitation of the inhabitants in order to open a school for primary and nautical education. The rich library once housed in the monastery was relocated to the Franciscan Library of Kotor.

... even if for only 20 or 30 minutes. A Ferry or Blue Bus will get you to Perast from Kotor Old Town & Little boats from Perast shuttle you over to this unique man made island. You can see pretty much all there is to see within 30 minutes but the photo opportunities are endless.

The Church Of Holy Mother Rozaria is an absolutely beautiful church in the town of Perast. The Church tower is a great beautiful tower that is the highlight of the beautiful town (apart from the view), and such a beautiful example of ancient Balkan architecture with the stone and the slanting roof. The church interiors are beautiful too! The church has beautiful trees around the spot - I was fortunate to see the tower through orange trees! My picture should do the talking. Definitely must visit!
