Wondering where to live in Montenegro? Boka Bay is the place to be!

The area of Boka Bay encompasses towns such as Kotor, Tivat, Perast, and Herceg Novi, known as tourist centers and the most beautiful parts of Montenegro. Tourism has always been one of the main pillars of the Montenegrin economy and in the last several years, many foreign investors have recognized Montenegro as a profitable location for starting a business and relocation. 

The Montenegrin government supported this trend with the Citizen by Investment Program, intending to ease the decision for the interested parties by encouraging them to invest in the country and relocate. This program allows foreigners to gain full-fledged citizenship by investing within one of the government-approved development projects.

This initiated the expansion of new housing projects across Montenegro, all competing to offer the best deal and accommodation to potential buyers. As a result, Montenegro today has one of the most competitive property markets in Europe offering high-quality and luxurious real estate within splendid housing complexes.

Thanks to its supportive business climate, incredible quality of life, low costs of living, and warm-hearted residents, Montenegro stands out as the perfect place to spend your life. If you are wondering where to live in Montenegro, we vouch that Boka Bay is the perfect place to be! Read on to find out why!

The area of Boka Bay has been inhabited since antiquity, so today tourists can enjoy the amazing Mediterranean architecture of numerous medieval towns such as Kotor, Tivat, Perast, and Herceg Novi. Boka Bay offers the perfect mixture of ancient cities and modern, luxurious housing within luxury developments such as Porto Montenegro.

Boka provides a unique opportunity for its residents to enjoy the peaceful and impressive vibes of ancient Montenegro cities whilst experiencing a high-class lifestyle in an opulent residential village offering superior quality real estate, services, and amenities. 

Besides its well-known nature, culture, and history Boka allows you to experience the authentic atmosphere of a European city, an amazing Mediterranean climate & cuisine, as well as the vibrant nightlife that the Balkans are known for!

Montenegrins boast of beautiful and untouched natural treasures. The first association to Montenegro for most people will be the image of long and broad sandy beaches and the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea beyond. However, this is only a small part of the incredibly generous natural potential that Montenegro has to offer.

Even though it is one of the smallest countries in this part of Europe, it has 5 registered national parks – and the best part is that most of them are on Boka’s doorstep! One of them is the Lovćen mountain which rises above Boka Bay.

A few hours away is Durmitor and the Tara River Canyon, which is on the list of international biosphere reserves. Skadar Lake, one of the many lakes in Montenegro, is included on the Ramsar List as a rare wetland habitat and in 1991 Montenegro was proclaimed as an ecological state. 

Being a Mediterranean country, the summers on the coast are hot and dry, with periodical intense storms. Temperatures range between 20 and 39 degrees during the day and evenings are warm with a light sea breeze. Winters are gentle and mild with a temperature within a range of 0 to 15 degrees with the occasional snowfall.

As far as Boka Bay is concerned, many agree on the fact that this is one of the most beautiful bays in the world. 

Gigantic Montenegrin mountains neighboring the bay surrounded by golden sandy beaches create a truly breath-taking contrast with the divine landscape. The impact is enhanced by the Mediterranean and tropical plants, pine trees, olive groves, and old towns that surround the coast.

The contrast is apparent when you take the road from Kotor up the Lovćen serpentines. Once you experience nature this impressive, you will not doubt that Boka Bay is the place to be.

UNESCO recognized the natural and culture-historical region of Kotor as a World Heritage Site in 1979. As we mentioned previously, the cities in the bay have been inhabited since antiquity and Kotor has one of the best-preserved medieval old towns in the Adriatic. 

One of the main attractions in the old town is certainly the ancient walls which are 4.5km long. Kotor has numerous Orthodox and Catholic churches and monasteries that attract numerous religious and cultural pilgrims – such as the church of St. Tryphon in the old part of town. 

Two islets off the coast of Perast, a city in Boka Bay – St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks are also popular tourist attractions and one of the top Montenegrin islands you have to explore.

Well-preserved medieval buildings and Mediterranean architecture combined with narrow streets paved with stones create the authentic atmosphere of old towns, giving you the special feeling of belonging to a story much bigger than our own.
