Perast, Montenegro: the "sleeping beauty" of the Adriatic Sea, awaits you!

Perast, Montenegro, a new country established in 2006, is the "sleeping beauty" of the Adriatic Sea! It boasts picturesque bays, ancient and mysterious churches, and is no less charming than the seaside towns of Italy, Switzerland, and France. There are also two fairy-tale islands—St. George's Island and Our Lady of the Rocks—where you can take stunning photos. History lesson: Perast was once a major maritime city of the Venetian Republic, and still retains a strong Venetian style. The 15th–18th centuries were its golden age, and wealthy merchants built many Baroque palaces, which still stand on the waterfront, telling the story of its former glory. Must-visit attractions: Our Lady of the Rocks: Legend has it that this is where fishermen discovered a statue of the Virgin Mary. Today, it is a beautiful church, and you can take a 5-euro boat ride to the island to experience the perfect fusion of faith and nature. St. George's Island: Home to a Benedictine monastery, this island is lush and peaceful, as if time has stood still here. Perast waterfront promenade: Stroll along the promenade, and you'll see the azure sea and ancient buildings on one side, and the other side is full of romantic atmosphere. Enjoy a coffee, an ice cream, and the local pomegranate wine. Food recommendations: Montenegrin-style stewed fish: Fresh seafood paired with local spices, the soup is rich and flavorful, and the aftertaste is endless. Njeguški sir: A Montenegrin specialty, with a rich texture, paired with ham and olives, it is an excellent appetizer. Seafood risotto: A classic Perast dish, with plenty of ingredients and a rich flavor. Transportation and accommodation: Transportation: From Kotor, take a bus or taxi for about 20 minutes to reach Perast. Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in a seaside guesthouse, where you can open the window and see the stunning sea view. The price is also very affordable. Of course, there are also luxurious and retro 5-star hotels. Tips: It is recommended to visit in the evening to enjoy the sunset over Perast, which is breathtaking! If you are staying at a hotel here, don't forget to wake up early to see the morning mist over the sea, which is absolutely stunning! Don't forget to bring a good book, spend a leisurely time at a seaside cafe during the day, and you can also go out to sea to see the Blue Grotto of Montenegro. The most beautiful Perast, a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle and relax, come and experience your "Adriatic Sea dream"!
