Islands in the Bay of Kotor

I got the card ME-1100 from Postcrossing which means that it is from Montenegro. It is gorgeous! I and my friends plan to take a trip in Serbia and Montenegro and I have to say that info about what we can see there, where to stay and so on is not so good on the net. For sure one of the sightseeing places is Bay of Kotor because it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is a little town called Perast, a quiet and peaceful place in the only fjord of the Mediterranean Sea. There are two islands and both have its own church. Our Lady of the Rocks (Gospa od Škrpjela) it is located on an artificial island created by bulwark of rocks and by sinking old and seized ships loaded with rocks. According to legend, the islet was made over the centuries by the seamen who kept an ancient oath after finding the icon of Madonna and Child on the rock in the sea on July 22, 1452. Upon returning from each successful voyage, they laid a rock in the Bay. The church was built in the 17th century and it contains 68 paintings by Tripo Kokolja, a famous 17th-century baroque artist from Perast. The other church is on the Island of Saint George. It is a natural island and there is built Saint George Benedictine monastery which dates back in the 12th century.
