Three Ladies Of Kotor Bay

OVERVIEW

Zip through the Bay of Kotor in a sleek speedboat to three locales named for the Virgin Mary. As the engine roars to life and the speedboat races up the bay, the thrills will begin in earnest. You will soon disembark at the baroque-style Our Lady’s Temple in the village of Prčanj. The serene setting will offer quite the contrast to the exhilaration of the ride. Ornate columns adorn the temple façade, the entry features a glorious double staircase and the two gilded altars are masterworks. The boat ride will continue to Our Lady of the Rocks, a miniscule manmade islet with a chapel renowned for its 15th-century icon of the Virgin Mary and a Carrara marble altar. One last tribute to the Virgin Mary awaits – Our Lady of the Angels, a centuries-old church within a fortified complex that once protected the bay from pirates. After browsing the interior, you will snack on canapés.
