Vincent Poon :: Perast & Bay of Kotor
 
The Bay of Kotor is one of the most beautiful natural landforms found on the Adriatic coast. The spectacular, steep-sided inlet is often referred as the 'Mediterranean fjord'.
 
What makes this 'fjord' stand out is perhaps the two churches built on the two islets in the middle of the bay, near the old town of Perast.

They say the whole church is built like a ship, which actually looks like one
Couldn't work out what this is..
Other boats stopped at the other end of this island.
