The road peels away from Dubrovnik and the Adriatic opens into a bowl of steep, olive-green hills and a bay that hooks like a fjord. You arrive first in Perast, a small baroque town that still reads like a shipping ledger—stone houses, low churches, and a single manmade islet, Gospa od Skrpjela, rising out of the glittering water like an island of memory.
