Fewer crowds and beautiful scenery! Meet the low-key town of Perast, where mountains and sea meet

At the beginning of the universe, the most beautiful encounter between land and sea must have been on the coast of Montenegro - as described by the British Romantic poet Byron, it seems to reveal the magic and wonder of nature in Montenegro. Perast is a small town located on the Kotor Bay in Montenegro. Despite its small size, the town boasts 16 churches and 17 palaces of various sizes. The European-style buildings are built on the mountains, facing the azure sea. The encounter between land and sea has earned it the reputation of being the most beautiful ancient town between mountains and sea. 🚶Attractions to visit in Perast: ⛪️St. Nicholas Church and Bell Tower: ⛪️St. Nicholas Church was built in 1616, and next to it is the Perast Bell Tower. The 55-meter-high Perast Bell Tower is connected to St. Nicholas Church, offering magnificent views of Perast and the Bay of Kotor. 🏝Two islands in the lake: 🏝Our Lady of the Rocks Island is an artificial island formed by piling stones and shipwrecks, with a history of nearly 400 years. The island features a Roman Catholic church (now a museum) and a beacon. The church houses 68 murals, which are quite spectacular. From the Perast pier, you can take a speedboat to the island for just a few euros. 🏝Island of St. George is a private estate that can only be viewed from a boat. 🏫Zmajević Palace: Located on a hill at the northwest end of the town, the church itself is closed, but its most prominent feature is its tall octagonal bell tower, one of the tallest buildings in Perast. ⏰Duration: Perast is small and often visited as a side trip to Kotor and Budva, but its picturesque scenery is worth a short break. 🪪Visa: 👉Chinese citizens holding diplomatic or official passports can visit Montenegro visa-free. 👉Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports can enter and transit through Montenegro visa-free for up to 30 days if they travel in a group with relevant transportation tickets and other documents issued by a travel agency.
