Like so many places on the Montenegrin coast, Perast gets by on its good looks in summer and spends its winters in hibernation. The town is a former Venetian port town on the steep slopes of the Bay of Kotor and it’s full of pretty stone buildings looking out on two small islands in the bay.
Other than eating and visiting the islands in summer, there really isn’t all that much to do though.
Pretty much all you need to know about Perast: stone buildings and two islands.
