Delve into the region’s history by browsing the Perast Museum, viewing rare Roman mosaics in Risan and meandering the winding streets in Kotor’s atmospheric Old Town. Although Perast has more than a dozen churches and numerous Venice-inspired palazzi, there is only one main street and just a few hundred residents. Touring the Perast Museum will reveal how the town developed under Venetian rule. You will gain a deeper understanding of the regional history in Risan, where you will see 4th century BC mosaics in an excavated Roman villa. The mosaics feature floral patterns and a representation of Hypnos, the god of sleep in Greek mythology. Back in Kotor, you will explore the medieval Old Town, which UNESCO has declared a World Heritage site for its architectural significance. While proceeding through the asymmetrical maze of ancient streets and alleyways, you can expect to see the 12th-century St. Tryphon Cathedral and the Square of Arms, the city’s largest plaza.
