The island of St. George, also called the &quot;island of the dead&quot; due to the presence of the cemetery, unfortunately, is closed to tourists, and you can only look at it from the side. However, we saw how a group of young people in kayaks moored to the shores of the island without any problems and arranged a rooming house there!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_0362.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2576 noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2576 size-large\" title=\"Island of St. George, Perast, Montenegro\" src=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_0362.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"421\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The island of the Virgin on the reef is open to the public - for 5 euros per person you will be taken there by boat and given 20-30 minutes to explore the island. This island is artificial. The locals tell the following legend: a long time ago, a sailor found a miraculous icon of the Mother of God at this place and was healed of a serious illness. Filled with gratitude, he decided to build a temple on the site. Then there was only a reef, and the sailors began to sink the ships they captured at this reef, and the captain of any ship passing by had to throw a stone there. Thus was born <del datetime=\"2012-10-18T00:37:02+00:00\">Not<\/del>man-made island. Note that not everything in Montenegro is natural! \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nThere is a church on the island, the interior of which is decorated with works by the Baroque painter Tripo Kokol. The church, in turn, consists of a treasury and a gallery - be sure to go there, there is something to see!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_0345.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2577 noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2577 size-large\" title=\"Island of the Virgin on the reef, Perast, Montenegro\" src=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_0345.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_03484.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2578 noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2578 size-large\" title=\"Island of the Virgin on the reef, Perast, Montenegro\" src=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_03484.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_03922.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2580 noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2580 size-large\" title=\"Island of the Virgin on the reef, Perast, Montenegro\" src=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_03922.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_0403.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2581 noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2581 size-large\" title=\"Island of the Virgin on the reef, Perast, Montenegro\" src=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_0403.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_04092.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2582 noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2582 size-large\" title=\"Island of the Virgin on the reef, Perast, Montenegro\" src=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_04092.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2583\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2583\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_0420.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2583 noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2583 size-large\" title=\"Island of the Virgin on the reef, Perast, Montenegro\" src=\"https:\/\/monteonline.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dsc_0420.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At night on the island you can see the shadow of a jubilant sailor who has found his treasure! \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We will be grateful if you &quot;like&quot; this entry in Contact or on Facebook.
