About the area

From this part of Perast the two islets sit directly in front of you, and they set the rhythm of the day. Our Lady of the Rocks is the built one — an artificial island raised over centuries by sailors dropping stones after each safe return, now carrying a domed church whose walls are covered in seventeenth-century painting and votive silver. St George, the natural island beside it, is dark with cypresses around a Benedictine abbey and a graveyard, closed to visitors, which somehow makes it the more photographed of the pair.

Small boats cross in a few minutes from the quay below, and in July the town rows out en masse for the Fašinada, tipping stones into the sea to keep the islet growing. The rest of the time this is a very quiet address: the shore road carries no through traffic, swimming is straight off the rocks and platforms into deep, clear water, and the narrow Verige strait funnels every ship heading up to Kotor past your window. Kotor itself is a fifteen-minute drive around the bay and Risan with its Roman mosaics is closer still, while the serpentine road up to Njeguši and Lovćen begins where the bay road ends at Kotor.
