Property for sale in Kotor: one municipality, many settings
The municipality of Kotor reaches well beyond the town walls. It covers the inner part of the bay, from Kostanjica and Morinj past Risan and Perast to Dobrota, Kotor and Prčanj at the foot of Vrmac. Inland, beyond the Vrmac ridge, lie Kavač and the villages of Grbalj, and at Bigova the municipality reaches the open sea. All of it belongs to the wider Kotor Bay area.
Apartments lead the offer, with houses close behind. Building land is plentiful, and there is a good choice of villas plus a few commercial properties.
The Old Town and the centre
Kotor's Old Town sits inside medieval walls that climb the mountain behind it to the fortress of St John. Its squares, churches and the Cathedral of St Tryphon are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site that takes in the whole inner bay. Homes inside the walls are mostly apartments in old stone buildings. Living here means summer crowds and cruise ships, and in return a home at the heart of a historic town. See the property for sale in Kotor Old Town.
Just outside the walls, Škaljari and the newer parts of town have apartments in residential buildings, with schools, shops and the bus station close by.
Kotor apartments by the water: Dobrota, Muo, Prčanj
North of the Old Town, Dobrota stretches along the shore for a long way. It is known for the stone palaces of old sea captains' families, and today newer apartment buildings stand beside them. Many buyers start with apartments for sale in Dobrota, as it is close to town and right on the bay.
On the other side, the road runs through Muo to Prčanj and Stoliv along the foot of Vrmac. This shore is quieter, with old churches, small piers and houses that face the water. It suits buyers who want to live by the sea and still reach Kotor quickly.
Perast, Risan and the inner bay
Perast is a small baroque town opposite the two islets of St George and Our Lady of the Rocks. What comes up for sale there is mostly stone houses and apartments in historic buildings. Deeper into the bay lies Risan, one of the oldest settlements on its shores, known for its Roman mosaics. Morinj, Kostanjica and Orahovac are quiet villages at the water's edge, good for a holiday home or a calm life all year.
Houses for sale in Kotor: Kavač and Grbalj
