The morning light scours the limestone cliffs of Boka Kotorska, turning the calm bay into polished metal as a small boat slips away from Perast's riva. Sea air sharpens the senses — a salt tang, a faint smoke from wood-fired grills, and the steady clip of oars. You steer toward a low, man-made island crowned by a tiny church: Our Lady of the Rocks. Behind it, the jagged spine of Lovćen keeps watch, while below the water a family-run farm tends strings of mussels and oysters, coaxing briny flavor from the Adriatic.
