Autumn is just around the corner, but are you still dreaming of relaxing in the sun? It’s still possible, and without having to take a plane to cross the globe. Some European destinations still have nice surprises and warm rays of sunshine in store in October, and even November. This is the case of this little paradise which promises to prolong the summer, by the sea what’s more.
Here, the mercury still reaches 23 to 25°C during the day, enough to savor the Indian summer while enjoying the charms of this small fishing village with stone houses. Far from the summer tourist bustle, you can easily stroll through the cobbled streets lined with sumptuous Venetian villas, witnesses to a rich past and multiple influences.
Nestled in the heart of the spectacular Bay of Kotor, this charming coastal town enjoys an enchanting microclimate in the late season. Have you guessed our destination? Yes, you are in Montenegro. Perast information! Nestled in the heart of the majestic and now well-known Bay of Kotor, this large bay which flows into the Adriatic, this small coastal town is a choice destination for an autumn getaway.
At the bend of a walk, the stone quays of Perast are an invitation to la dolce vita. This is the opportunity to enjoy a coffee on the terrace, lulled by the lapping water or to climb the small streets to enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the bay. The town of Kotor is only a few kilometers away. A short distance away, the islets of Saint-Georges and Notre-Dame-du-Rocher invite you to a romantic boat getaway, offered to many tourists in the summer.
Saint-Georges, closed to visitors, is home to a medieval monastery and the ancient cemetery of Perast, while Notre-Dame-du-Rocher offers visitors a view of its charming chapel. Perast is attracting more and more tourists and it can become difficult to park there without having to pay a single price which necessarily includes the boat tour and the visit to the Notre-Dame-du-Rocher church. If this is not on your agenda, it will be better to park further away and walk a little while enjoying the view.
Do you prefer swimming? If Perast does not have a sandy beach, its pontoons and nautical clubs are all pleasant spots to lie down. To the north and south of the village, a few pebble coves also offer lovely swimming opportunities. Just a 2-hour drive from Dubrovnik or 3 hours from Podgorica, Perast is a great getaway in the fall, far from the flood of tourists who flock there throughout the summer.
