Bar

Bar is the working capital of the Montenegrin coast. It has the country's main port, a ferry link to Italy, the railway to Belgrade and a modern town of wide, palm-lined avenues. Above it, the ruins of Stari Bar rise on a hill among olive groves, including an olive tree in Mirovica that is more than two thousand years old.

Why Bar

Bar offers some of the most attractive entry prices on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, together with infrastructure that many resorts lack. The marina, the port and the town's year-round population create demand for both holiday and long-term rentals, while ongoing investment in the waterfront continues to improve the town.

For buyers, that means more space for the money: larger apartments, houses with gardens and new developments with sea views, often at a fraction of the price of Budva or Tivat. Nearby Sutomore and Dobre Vode add busy summer beaches to the mix.

The season

The beach season runs from June to September, with warm weather from May to October. Thanks to its port, administration and services, Bar stays active all year, which supports long-term letting.

Where to buy

• The town centre and Topolica for convenience: apartments near the marina, the promenade and King Nikola's palace.
• Šušanj and Ilino for the beach: residential areas close to the sea.
• Stari Bar for character: stone houses among the olive groves below the old town.
• Sutomore and Dobre Vode for holiday rentals: lively summer resorts a short drive away.

Living here

Bar feels like a real city by the sea, with shops, schools, a hospital and an active cultural life. Podgorica airport is about forty-five minutes away through the Sozina tunnel, and the ferry to Bari opens the way to Italy.

Our view

Bar is the smart choice for value-driven buyers and for those who want a full-time home on the coast. Choosing the right building and neighbourhood is essential, and we make sure the quality matches the price.
