Montenegro’s coastal resorts are beautiful, but they can be crowded and filled with high-rise hotels and shopping malls. In contrast is Perast, a small village with just a few hundred residents. Perast is right on the water, and views from its concrete fishing piers and pebbled beaches are magnificent. In Boka Bay is the island Gospa od Škrpjela, or Our Lady of the Rock, which is the home to an isolated but iconic cathedral that is the focus of many photographs from the Perast shoreline.
