21 Underrated Coastal Towns Cheaper Than the Amalfi Coast
12. Montenegro's Fjordland Beauty: Perast
Nestled in the breathtaking Bay of Kotor, often likened to a Mediterranean fjord, Perast is a tiny, incredibly preserved Baroque town. Imagine Venetian palaces and stone churches lining a serene waterfront, with two picturesque islets (Our Lady of the Rocks and St. George) floating just offshore. Far quieter than nearby Kotor town, Perast offers a step back in time with its car-free old town and stunning mountain-meets-sea scenery. Enjoy boat trips to the islets, leisurely seaside dining, and a sense of profound tranquility, all with a grandeur that rivals more famous Adriatic hotspots but at a more gentle pace.
