Manastir Banja
Manastir Banja
Manastir Banja is a Serbian Orthodox monastery located on the coast of the Bay of Kotor, situated between the towns of Risan and Perast. Travelers visit this site to see its historic church and modest monastic buildings, which are set within a quiet coastal environment.
Getting There
The monastery is located outside the main center of Kotor. To reach it, visitors typically use a car or local transport to travel along the coastal road toward Perast. Depending on traffic and the starting point in the city, the drive generally takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Visit Duration
Because of the small scale of the church and the surrounding grounds, most visitors spend approximately 45 to 90 minutes exploring the site and walking through the courtyard.
When to Visit
The monastery is generally quiet compared to the main tourist hubs of Kotor and Perast. Visiting during the early morning or late afternoon avoids the midday heat during the summer months. It is a destination that remains relatively calm throughout the year.
Nearby Attractions
The monastery is positioned close to several other religious and historic sites in the Perast area. You can combine a visit here with the following:
- Saint Mark church in Perast (1.7km)
- Our Lady of the Rocks (1.7km)
- Saint Nicholas church (1.8km)
- Sveti Đorđe (1.8km)
