A low-slung boat cuts a mirror through Boka Bay, and the limestone walls of the fjord-like inlet close in like a tide of history. You step off in Perast — narrow stone streets, baroque facades, and the sharp salt-iron smell of the sea — then board a small skiff for the short hop to Our Lady of the Rocks. The man-made islet, built by centuries of returning sailors, sits white against blue, its chapel altar and votive paintings holding the island’s quiet biography.

History
Perast flourished under Venetian maritime trade in the 17th–18th centuries; many of its palaces were built by wealthy seafaring families, and the island Our Lady of the Rocks was built by sailors throwing stones after safe voyages.
Conservation
Shellfish farming here is relatively low-impact and relies on the bay’s clean waters; visitors should avoid littering and respect local protected-area rules to help maintain water quality.
