"The town of Perast, the jewel in the crown, is only a short distance further. The name derives from the Illyrian Pirusta tribe. Standing proud between the two bays of the inner Boka and with a unique vantage point on the Verige channel, Perast commanded a most valuable strategic position and, with those safe harbours large enough to accommodate a mighty navy, a highly desirable one."
