Sveti Marko & Gospa od Milosti

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:50:50

Two more islands stretch out in a line from Ostrvo Cvijeća (Island of Flowers) but you’ll need a boat to access them (a taxi boat from Tivat or Herceg Novi will do the trick). The larger, heavily forested Sveti Marko (St Mark) used to be a Club Med and you can still see the huts poking up through the trees. It’s a prime spot with a couple of nice beaches so it’s bound to be developed sometime.

Beyond this the diminutive Gospa od Milosti (Our Lady of Mercy) was once the residence of Kotor’s Catholic bishops and is now a convent. A wooden statue of the Madonna kept in the church is said to have miraculous powers.
