Perast is a tiny baroque town of stone palaces and church towers, with no large hotels, so arriving here is a quiet affair.
From the airport around the bay to Perast
After the border at Karasovići–Debeli Brijeg the car passes Herceg Novi and follows the shore road deeper into the Bay of Kotor. Beyond Kamenari the bay narrows at Verige, then opens again into the inner basin.
Past Risan the road runs right along the water until Perast appears, with the islets of Our Lady of the Rocks and St George just offshore. This is a narrow, winding road, which is why the time is long for the distance.
Good to know before you arrive
- Boutique stays
- Perast suits couples and travellers who want a calm base. Accommodation is mostly small hotels and apartments in historic houses.
- Light luggage helps
- The waterfront is flat, but some houses are up steps behind it. Soft bags are easier than large hard cases.
- Evenings
- Once day visitors leave, the town becomes very quiet. For a late arrival, let your host know the expected time so someone can meet you.
Excursions from Perast
Small boats leave the waterfront for Our Lady of the Rocks, and Kotor is a short drive further along the bay. Some travellers break the journey in Herceg Novi on the way; mention a stop when booking so the provider can plan for it.
Return to Dubrovnik Airport
In summer arrange the pickup about 4.5 hours before your flight; in May, early June or October about 4 hours is usually enough. Meet the driver at the same parking area where you were dropped off.
