This is a walking tour in Prčanj Montenegro taken in 2022. Prčanj is a small town located in the Bay of Kotor just 5 Kilometers west of Kotor and opposite of Doborta another town in the Bay. It was once known as Perzagno and was one of the important maritime centers on the southern Adriatic.
While under the rule of the Venetian Republic, Perzagno gained fame in a rather unusual way. By the end of the sixteenth century, the administration noticed that sailors from here were able to sail to Venice in less time than the government ships. As a result, it was then decided that the port be given the responsibility for the permanent mail service of the Republic. This was further established by a decree of 1625 that praises the inhabitants of the port for their conscientious and effective handling of the State mail. The decree was of tremendous significance for the town, as it freed its citizens from manual labor, a mandatory form of state service at that time. The decree officially made Perzagno a naval town, and its duties to the State were henceforth of an exclusively maritime nature.
The importance of reliable mail service was of tremendous value to the Venetian Republic. Perzagno became the port from which the mail from Istanbul, which arrived overland through Montenegro, continued seaborne towards Venice. The town's ships were initially small in size, with crews of only nine men. The ships were ready to sail year-round and would negotiate the 400 mile journey to Venice by oar and sail.

While in the Bay, I spent most of my time in Prčanj, I enjoyed the small town feel to it and preferred the beaches in this area. A must see if you are in the Bay.
