This is your holiday so make it your own, choose the area which you feel suits your needs and enjoy! The only ask we have is the night before the wedding the girls are free for cocktails/ Lads for a beer. Turn up on the wedding day of course, and join us the day after for a breakfast. That's it! The rest of the time is yours whether you come for a long weekend or want to enjoy a beautiful holiday.

PERAST



38 Minutes from Tivat.

50 Minutes from Budva

19 Minutes to kotor

6 Minutes to Wedding Location


Looking like a chunk of Venice that has floated down the Adriatic and anchored itself onto the Bay of Kotor, Perast (Пераст) hums with melancholy memories of the days when it was rich and powerful. Despite having only one main street, this tiny town boasts 16 churches and 17 formerly grand palazzi. While some are just enigmatic ruins sprouting bougainvillea and wild fig, others are caught up in the whirlwind of renovation that has hit the town.

The entire town is about a 1.5 km walk from end to end and should take you around 20 minutes. It has a small population of 300 residents.


Church of St. Nicholas (St. Nikola Church)


a Catholic church home to the famous bell tower of Perast. You can explore the small chapel downstairs and climb to the top of the tower for 1 EUR. There’s a beautiful view from up there.


Visit Our Lady of the Rocks


There are two tiny islands in the Bay of Kotor, each topped with a chapel, just off the shore from Perast. One is called Gospa od Škrpjela (Our Lady of the Rocks); the other is Sveti Đorđe (St. George). While St. George is off-limits to visitors, boats from Perast visit Our Lady of the Rocks all day.


Our Lady of the Rocks is the only artificial island in the Adriatic Sea, and legend has it that local fishermen found an image of the Madonna and child here, and decided to keep returning to drop rocks until the island was created.To get to Our Lady of the Rocks, simply head down to the waterfront and take one of the excursions, which cost about 5 EUR return. If you’re driving to Perast, several of the parking lots give you free parking if you buy one of the tours; you can find out details from their parking attendants. You can also book a private water taxi for about 10 EUR


Pirates Bar


One of my favorite things to do in Perast was wake up and head straight to the beach for a swim in the clear teal water. With the mountains of the Bay of Kotor rising up around me, this might have been the most beautiful place I had EVER gone for a swim.


Try Perast cake

The cake consists of a traditional shell filled with almonds, butter, eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and liquor (sometimes rum or cherry liqueur).
