Frequently asked questions

Why is Kotor included on the UNESCO list?
Kotor Old Town is listed by UNESCO as a cultural heritage site thanks to its well-preserved medieval architecture and historical significance. The city was founded by the Venetians and has preserved Renaissance buildings, churches, and fortress walls. It is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval towns on the Adriatic coast.
What is the flood risk in Kotor?
Kotor is located in a sheltered bay (Boka Bay), which has historically been prone to flooding. In the Old Town, flooding sometimes occurs during storms or when snow melts in the mountains. Rainy months (November–December) increase the risk. When choosing property in the Old Town, it is recommended to avoid basement floors and low-lying premises.
What are the property prices in Kotor?
Apartments in the Old Town (UNESCO) cost EUR 3,500–6,000/m² due to their historical value. In newer areas, prices are lower — EUR 2,000–3,500/m². Small apartments in the Old Town alleys can be found from EUR 100,000. Restored palazzos cost EUR 500,000–1 million. Prices rise by 3–5% annually thanks to tourism.
What types of housing can be bought in Kotor?
In the Old Town, you can buy apartments in historic buildings (palazzos, mansions) that require restoration. There are modern apartments in new buildings. Outside the city, there are villas with bay views. Townhouses in the mid-price range are popular among families. The choice depends on your budget and architectural preferences.
How do cruise ships affect life in Kotor?
Kotor is very popular among cruise tourists, especially in summer. Several large ships with thousands of tourists can arrive every day. This means overcrowding in the Old Town, noise, and bustle. In winter, there are almost no cruises. Residents often complain about overcrowding and prefer to live in newer areas farther from the center.
What is the cost of living in Kotor?
Kotor is more expensive than other coastal cities because of tourism. Lunch in a restaurant in the Old Town costs EUR 12–20, coffee — EUR 2–3. Apartment rent in the Old Town is EUR 600–1,000/month, in newer areas — EUR 400–700/month. Groceries and services are more expensive than in Bar or Podgorica. Tourist prices are inflated during the summer season.
What attractions and entertainment are there in Kotor?
Kotor is known for its Old Town with narrow streets, the San Giovanni Fortress, and churches. Festivals are held regularly in the city (Boka Night, Jazz Festival). From Kotor, you can go yachting, swim in the bay, and take hiking trips into the mountains. The nightlife is developed, but not as active as in Budva. The city is ideal for cultural leisure and history.
What is the climate in Kotor and what are the seasons like?
Kotor has a Mediterranean climate and is protected from winds by the bay. Summers are hot (28–32°C), winters are mild (4–8°C) with rain. Spring and autumn are ideal for visiting (18–22°C). The bay warms up quickly in summer (water 25–27°C), which is ideal for swimming. Kotor gets less sunshine than southern cities because of the high mountains around it.

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.

We just purchased an apartment in Budva and wanted to send our biggest thanks to the realtor team Alexandra and Slava for their incredible work. They have the utmost professionalism, both are such a pleasure to work with - kind, diligent and really attentive to the specific needs of each respective client. Beyond just that, Slava and Alexandra were incredibly helpful all around, we got so much interesting and useful information from them - they answered all our questions, even outside of the purchase of property, we were always able to turn to them and they helped us out tremendously. Thank you both so much for your work and all your help, we couldn’t be happier, and can’t recommend them enough!
