A UNESCO World Heritage Landscape
Protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bay of Kotor is renowned for its medieval towns, stone villages, and breathtaking viewpoints.

At the heart of the bay lies Perast, a small baroque town known for its elegant palaces, churches, and peaceful atmosphere. Once a powerful maritime center, Perast today feels timeless, refined, and deeply connected to the sea.
