I only had half an hour in this tiny island so I took a quick peek at the church and visited the museum for 1 euro. Found interesting items like household items, a chest and many art pieces & paintings in there which is worth a visit. There's also a small souvenir shop within. It costs 5 euros to cross the waters to get here.
Everyone who visit Kotor should also visit small town Perast, with his lovely stone houses, museums, restorants and take a boat trip to little island and see church Gospa od Skrpelja. There are every 30 minutes boats that goes to and from the island and its not expensive for tickets. Entries for the museum is 1 euro.
My wife decided that she wanted to swim out to this island from the public beach next to the pirate bar.Noticing that the current was taking her away from the island we were immediately concerned.I took the decision to hire a canoe (€5 for 30 mins) and the 2 of us went to check she was ok (she was) On arriving at the island a lady told her she could not land as she was just in a swimming costume so we then had to go back and pick up her clothes and travel out on a water taxi (€5)Great experience and a very pretty church.Got the Geocache too!
I have been really suprise with history and looks of island and church and museum buiit on it. It was artificaly made island for 100 years by sailors in the of Madonna. In start has just a few squer meters. and then sailors started to bring stones with little boats.. Church is full of sacrament artefact which sailors bring there to thank ;Madonna. Unfortunaly, we saw just few hundred silver votive tablet cose are 2 000 now on exibition in SevilaIt is the place you must see with travel guide. Without you could not understand a lot.It is really specia place and we was amesing with visit.
Nothing to dislike. An extraordinary place that must be visited while in Montenegro! It is in Perast and you can enjoy some of the terraces first and then go to explore this unique place filled with faith and art.
We took a boat from Perast to the tiny island on which the church stands. You only need half an hour to take in the church and the little museum but it is certainly worth the visit to view the many interesting artefacts.
We reached this chapel after 15 min boat trip which was rather pleasant...Negotiate your price carefully and don't give up too quickly, even if there's noone else out there to join you (ie share the price). These boats go back and forth several times a day meaning there's always another chance...Stunning location, significance and history of this place mean it's a good idea to pay a visit on a sunny day.Marvellous paintings & icons make it special on top of everything else... Apparently, this chapel is also popular among young couples (wedding ceremonies / engagement parties) so watch your space & enjoy the trip!Cheers.
This is a tiny island right opposite Persat. Apart from a church there is nothing else. We went there by a water taxi. They charged 3 of us for 10EUR and return. I think this is the best deal to go than to join a boat tour. We spent 20 min on the island and took beautiful pictures of the main land on return. There is one toilet in the island. So be prepare for a long queue.
Amazing is weak word! Beautiful small island with amazing story from the past. Church is beautiul! Ask about some piece of art on the walls to hear breathtaking stories. View from it to the Perast and Boka bay is great also.
Visited this Baroque-style church while on a Celebrity Silhouette cruise. We were on a guided excursion and had private access to the church which is fairly small and can get quite crowded. The interior is amazingly beautiful and rich in history. While there is no fee to enter the church, you do need to pay for a boat ride to the church.
