This is a man-made islet, built upon a crag that bore the icon of the Holy Mother Mary, and it houses a church that's been built by seafarers and other locals to honor the graceful Mother Mary. It is a place where visitors can listen to the mystical story about the island's genesis, as well as examine the many paintings, votives, and other art pieces inside the museum, attached to the church.

Mamula Fortress (Pass By)

The very exit of the Bay of Kotor is guarded by the haunting Mamula, a fortified island that's full of gruesome stories from past events like World War I & II.

Blue Grotto

The whole adventure gets wrapped up with a nice dip inside the Blue Cave, a natural phenomenon that's been created by waves crashing for thousands of years at the Lustica peninsula. The name derives from the whole ambiance, created by iridescent lightning that manifests itself on the water due to the Sun's radiance through small cave cracks.
