Our Lady of the Rocks
The church Our Lady of the Rocks is located at the same named island which is located in bay of Boka bay across the beautiful small and peaceful town Perast. This church was raised in 1630 on an artificial island, which was built by fishermen from Perast. According to a legend these fishermen after the shipwreck found on a sea rock an icon of Holy Mother of God with Christ and vowed that right on that spot where the icon was found they will build a church, which will be dedicated to this icon of the Holy Mother of God, protector of sailors and fishermen. That is one of the reasons why you’ll see more than 2000 silver plaques dedicated by local sailors and their family. The most precious gift that was ever given to the church is embroidery by a women named Jacinta Kunic which she did with her own hair for 25 years while waiting for her husband to come back . Many historical ornaments and the story itself makes this island the most visited in Montenegro.

The fortress was built in the middle of the 19th century by Austro-Hungarian general Lazar Mamula.

Blue Cave
About 6 nautical miles from Herceg Novi, it is located on the peninsula Luštica, perhaps the most beautiful natural phenomenon on the Montenegrin coast – Blue Cave. It was formed at the bottom of the rock of 100 meters, as a result of the millennial influence of the sea waves on the porous rocks of Lustica. The cave has two openings, smaller, on the south side and larger, 10 meters high and 15 meters wide, located on the southwestern side, which allows tourists to attend irresistible games of light and water in the inner part of the cave.This natural cave with a ceiling of 9 meters above sea level, takes the breath away to anyone who visits it. Through the incoming sunlight it enters its interior, and wraps around the surface of the water creating large shades of blue color by which the cave got its name

Submarine base of Yugoslavia
Near the small village called Rose, there are 3 submarine tunnels built by the Yugoslav Army. One is towards the open sea and the island of Mamula, the other two are about 1-2 km in the direction of Tivat. There are also several abandoned ships of the Yugoslav Navy. All tunnels are dead, so you can not swim, but you can swim to the end and back. You can also walk and explore for yourself. In the end it’s pretty dark, so it has a flashlight. There are other pedestrian tunnels that move from the main tunnel of the submarine.Length: about 100 meters and you can swim to the end. Depth: about 10 meters.It was built by the Yugoslav Army during the Second World War
