Near the historic town of Perast, two small islands sit opposite each other in the calm waters of Bay of Kotor. While Our Lady of the Rocks is well known for its church and museum, its neighbor offers a quieter, more mysterious presence.
St. George Island is a natural island, home to a Benedictine monastery and an old cemetery shaded by tall cypress trees. For centuries, it served as an important spiritual site for the local community, with many noble families laid to rest within its grounds.
Although the island is not open to visitors today, it can be admired from the sea. Passing by, you’ll catch a glimpse of the monastery, ancient stone walls, and dense greenery—creating one of the most serene and captivating views in this part of the bay.
During boat tours across Kotor Bay, guests can enjoy a panoramic perspective of this tranquil island alongside the iconic Our Lady of the Rocks and the picturesque shoreline of Perast— one of the most iconic views along the Montenegrin coast.
This beautiful moment was captured by one of our guests during a boat tour, an authentic glimpse of the magic you can experience firsthand.
