An artificial islet built up over centuries by sailors dropping stones, crowned by a 17th-century Roman Catholic church with a museum of votive offerings and a silver votive plate collection. A tapestry embroidered by Jacinta Kunić with her own hair is displayed inside.
Take the short boat shuttle from the Perast waterfront and pay the small church entry; go early before the tour groups from Kotor arrive.
The boatmen at Perast work off the quay in front of the town, under a hand-lettered board, and they take no bookings. A skiff leaves when it has enough people in it, which in season is every few minutes, and the crossing to the island church of Our Lady of the Rocks runs five to ten minutes. Around 5 euros covers the return, paid at a desk on the waterfront or to the man at the tiller. Almost everything else on this bay has an opening time attached to it, a ticket gate, or a bus timetable. The boat is the one arrangement on the Bay of Kotor that can be made on impulse.
