The Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska) in Montenegro is generally accepted as the most beautiful bay in the Mediterranean and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We are lucky enough to have a luxury apartment available to let which is right on the waters edge in the heart of the bay.
The apartment is a rare modern 'waterfront' or 'frontline' open-plan apartment. This means it directly faces the Adriatic Sea. This allows magnificent views of the bay from every window in the apartment. Imagine waking on a warm Summer's morning and looking out straight across the cool crystal azure waters of the Adriatic.
The property is also entirely at ground level, both regarding it's location and it's build. In significant contrast, access to many of the buildings in the beautiful Kotor Bay area, by it's mountainous nature, is via very steep slopes or significant numbers of steps. Lack of these problems, coupled with it's abundant parking, makes the apartment very attractive for the physically impaired (and those on holiday who don't want to climb Mount Everest after a day's sunbathing and relaxing).
The apartment is just a few miles from the Old Town of Kotor. The Old Town is definitely the place to visit on sultry Summer evenings.
Internal climate control is available via the sophisticated remote-control air conditioning system. This will heat/de-humidify as well as cool the apartment. This facility coupled with the modern double glazing and mild Mediterranean climate makes the apartment attractive for economic short holidays out of season.
One of the highlights of the apartment is the sea-terrace or 'ponta'. This is a large area right outside the apartment at the edge of the Adriatic Sea which has a barbeque/bar area, lots of room to sunbathe/swim/relax and berthing facilities. The 'ponta' also has ladders so that once you've dived into those beautiful waters to cool off after a hard afternoon's sunbathing, you can actually get out again!

Travel

If hiring a car we would recommend arranging this in advance. Best Buy are familiar with guests driving into Montenegro and will supply you with the compulsory cross-border or 'green' card. If you use another hire company, make sure they supply you with this card and will allow you to drive into Montenegro.
The Montenegro Government from June 2008 are charging an Eco Tax of 10 Euro for all cars going into Montenegro! You will need to pay this for your rental car unless it has been paid for the car previously. Make sure you have 10 euro in cash with you. All cars into Montenegro pay this, including the locals. There are no major problems with driving in Montenegro. Of note though is:
- The main road around the edge of the Bay and into Kotor is fine however some of the side roads can be a little steep and so care needs to be taken.
- The traffic laws in Montenegro require cars to have lights on at all times. There is a 20 Euro fine if you are caught.
- Some roads are in need of some maintenance i.e. small holes here and there but in general the roads are pretty good condition.
- Some smaller roads may be little more than dirt tracks so unless you are adventurous, stick to the main roads.
If you dont wish to hire a car, taxis are available to collect you at Dubrovnik airport and take you all the way to the apartment in Montenegro (even through the border). They will, of course, collect you for the return journey should you arrange that with them. We strongly recommend doing this in advance - all of the arrangements can be done by email directly with the taxi firm, please see our website for more details, link below.
Local taxis in Montenegro are very cheap - a journey from the apartment to Kotor Stari Grad (old town) cost us just over 5 Euros so a taxi from Dubrovnik then using local taxis to get around really is an option. We would recommend Red Taxi on 9719 (diallable from a UK mobile when roaming in Montenengro) as their cars are new and very clean.
It's also totally possible to drive all the way there but from the UK it would be approx 24 hours solid driving. You will obviously need the appropriate cross-border documentation.
The apartment does also have mooring facilities, but please check with the appropriate authorities if it is possible to moor your vessel in the Bay of Kotor. The Montenegrins are very sensitive to smuggling etc and you MUST go straight to the nearest Customs office as soon as you cross into Montenegrin waters.

The internal layout is, in common with many apartments in the area, open-plan i.e. there is no door between the bedroom and the lounge area. This should be considered when sharing.

Facilities
Parking Facilities	:	The apartment has abundant parking facilities which again makes it a minority building in the Kotor Bay area.

The terrace parking has access immediately to the road so suitable care should be taken when pulling out etc.

Activities

Kotor Bay is noted for it's wrecks and caves etc. It's a haven for diving and the apartment is in the heart of it complete with boat moorings if you need to venture further afield. It's the best of all worlds as you are there on the Adriatic ready to go anywhere but also benefit from the protection of the bay when moored.
Other activities such as Mountaineering, Riding, Fishing, Hunting, Shooting, Off-roading, Windsurfing, White-water Rafting etc are available - please see our website for more information, link below.

Further Details

The romantic cobbled streets of Kotor Old Town, 5km away, really has a party atmosphere at night and is a great way to chill out after a long day swimming and sunbathing. Uniquely you aren't allowed to drive in the Old Town, you must leave your car outside the gates. This makes for a wonderfully peaceful evening without cars and motorcycles roaring up and down.
The night life in Kotor is wonderful, the town really buzzes.
Travellers cheques can be cashed at the banks in Kotor Old Town but be aware of the commission charges as some can be fairly high. There are also ATMs there so cash can be easily obtained.
There is a nice little minimarket approx 1km South called 'Ela' - they have most things you'd need regarding food and drink.
The food and drink in Montenegro is excellent with this apartment being a 'stone's throw' from one of the best restaurants in the area, the 'Stari Milini'. This restaurant serves a varied menu including local fresh food. It's not the cheapest by comparison to other local restaurants but is much cheaper than restaurants in the UK. This restaurant is 10 minutes sea-front walk down into Ljuta (the local town), you then arrive in the restaurant car park. The cost of living in Montenegro is far less the UK and so eating out is a real option.
Montenegro is still a very cash oriented society but some larger shops are starting to take credit cards.
