Best time to visit Lady of the Rocks

Seasons, cruise-ship crowds, the Fašinada on 22 July and the best time of day for photos.

Updated 1 min read

Boats to the islet run whenever the weather allows, but the season really runs from May to October.

MonthsWhat to expect
April – MayGreen hills, mild weather, few crowds
JuneWarm and lively; a great all-round month
July – AugustHot and busy, especially on cruise-ship days; Fašinada on 22 July
September – OctoberWarm sea, softer light, fewer people
November – MarchQuiet, cooler and wetter; boats run less often

Best time of day

Cruise passengers from Kotor usually reach Perast mid-morning. Visit early in the morning or in the late afternoon for calmer water, softer light on the church facade and fewer people on the islet.

Photography tip

The classic view of both islets is from the hillside above Perast or from the water just south of St George. In the evening, the church glows warm against the dark mountains.
