Frequently asked questions

Prices are lower than in Budva, but the quality is slightly worse due to less developed tourist infrastructure. Transactions are often made in cash euros or at discounted prices.
What role does the seaport play in the life of Bar?
The Port of Bar is Montenegro's main seaport and influences the city's economy. It is a cargo port with constant activity, which can mean noise and bustle in the coastal areas. However, the port provides jobs and connections with Italy and other countries. Tourists are advised to choose accommodation away from the port area.
How do you get from Bar to Italy?
Ferries from Bar to Bari, Italy, run regularly, and the trip takes 9-10 hours. You can also travel to Albania and from there to Southern Italy or Greece. This is cheaper than flying, but takes longer. Tickets cost 40-100 EUR depending on the season and class.

Bar is one of the most affordable seaside cities in Montenegro. Lunch in a simple restaurant costs 5-10 EUR, and apartment rent is 300-600 EUR/month. Groceries at local markets are cheaper than in chain stores. Utilities are around 80-100 EUR/month.
What infrastructure is available for living in Bar?
Bar has basic infrastructure: a hospital, shops, schools, and banks. Entertainment is limited compared to Budva, but there are beaches, bars, and restaurants. In recent years, the city has been developing as a tourist destination, with new facilities appearing. Bar is suitable for people who prefer a quiet lifestyle away from tourist crowds.
What beaches are there in Bar and the surrounding area?
Bar's main beach (Plaža Barski) stretches along the city's coastline with convenient access to the water. Nearby are the less crowded Topolica and Makal beaches. The water in Bar is clearer than in some other cities thanks to its open exposure to the sea. The beaches are well developed, with cafes and beach bars.

I've been working with MD Realty for over a year. The well-coordinated team of Vyacheslav, Taisiya, and Alexandra imbues every process with professionalism, attention to detail, and customer care. For the first time, I don't have to think about or calculate all the pitfalls—Vyacheslav himself uncovers them from the depths of any property and brings only the best possible outcome to the transaction. As a result, I always successfully purchase apartments, and they provide a full package of services, including rental and subsequent management, if needed. They are also ready to assist with various issues unrelated to real estate—their experience and knowledge of Montenegro's legal framework are inspiring. I thank these guys for their quality participation in my projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for specialists in this field.

Thank you both so much for your work and all your help, we couldn’t be happier, and can’t recommend them enough!
