Risan an up and comming destination

The oldest settlement of Boka Kotorska and a town which is surrounded by high mountains, Risan is a romantic, coastal place. Old Greeks and Illyrians lived here in welfare, and Romans have made it a fortified town with beautiful architecture and well known, until nowadays preserved, mosaic in the houses. Archeological remains, which survived the earthquakes and centuries, make this town a real small museum. Today by its beauty especially notices is the church of Sveti Petar I Pavle (St. Peter and Paul) which is 400 years old, in which numerous gifts from the Russian court and valuable relics are preserved. Risan is visited by restorers and archeologists who will certainly find interesting the fact that in the town there are antiquities which can only be found here – such as figural show of the God Hiponos on one of the mosaics. In the immediate vicinity of Risan there is a cave with a lake, named Spila, so the speleologist will find the visit to this place a real festival for their eyes. Also the sight of the well Sopot which from the great height, over the cascades falls into the sea is extremely beautiful. Krivosijske Mountains which rise above Risan are rich with endemic plant kinds, and after a longer walk you will come across some of the rare smaller lodgments in which houses are mostly made of stone. Not far from Risan, when you go towards the south, there is a monastery Banja, which was several times destroyed, but since the XVIII century it has been living peacefully and preserves beautiful icons and relics, such as epitrachelion in golden, silver and pearl broidery.
