Saint Mark church in Perast
Saint Mark's Church
Located in the village of Perast overlooking the Bay of Kotor, this 18th-century church is an example of Venetian architectural style. Visitors go here to see the interior, which contains historical traces and memorials related to the region's former noble families.
Getting There
The church is situated within the small, pedestrian-friendly village of Perast. If you are arriving from the center of Kotor, you can reach the village via a short drive or local bus along the coast. The travel time from Kotor is approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Visit Duration
Because of its modest size and the quiet nature of the interior, allow approximately 30 to 45 minutes to explore the building and its immediate surroundings.
When to Visit
The area is most crowded during the summer months when cruise ships dock in the bay. To avoid the largest crowds, visit during the shoulder seasons or early in the morning. The village is quiet, and the church is best experienced at a slow pace.
