# Visiting Perast in June

Look, Perast is genuinely one of those places that earns the fuss made about it. A handful of baroque palaces strung along a narrow waterfront, two islands sitting impossibly picturesque in the bay, and mountains dropping straight into the water behind everything. June is actually a pretty decent time to show up, though “decent” comes with some honest caveats.

The weather sits around 27 degrees, which feels lovely until about 2pm when the sun bounces off the water and the stone walls simultaneously and you realize there’s essentially no shade on the main promenade. It’s warm enough to swim comfortably, and the Adriatic here is clear and genuinely cold in the best possible way. That nearly 100mm of rainfall sounds alarming but it typically arrives as dramatic afternoon thunderstorms rather than grey drizzle. They roll in fast, drench everything, then leave. Actually quite spectacular given the mountain backdrop.

Crowds are building but haven’t reached the August wall-to-wall situation yet. Weekends get noticeably busier, particularly with day-trippers coming up from Kotor or arriving on boat tours. Weekday mornings before 10am you can have the waterfront almost to yourself, which is worth rearranging your schedule for. The boat taxis to Our Lady of the Rocks and St George island are running fully by June, and the small church on the former is open and worth the few euros.

Most restaurants are operating, the few small souvenir shops are open, and you won’t be scrambling for accommodation like you would in July or August. Prices are climbing but not yet peak.

Who is this good for? Couples, anyone who prioritizes atmosphere over party energy, photographers, people who find Dubrovnik too hectic and want somewhere that still has some quiet corners. It’s not ideal if you need extensive museums or nightlife because Perast genuinely doesn’t have those things any month.

**Practical tip:** Come by water taxi from Kotor rather than driving. Parking near Perast is a genuine headache, and arriving from the bay gives you the view the town was built to show off.
