Kostanjica Apartments

Kostanjica Apartments sits in Koštajnica, a small waterside settlement near Kamenari on Montenegro's coast, along the shore of the Bay of Kotor. This is a one-bedroom apartment sleeping two guests, with a single bed, one bedroom and one private bathroom — a straightforward, self-contained base for a couple or a solo traveller who prefers a quiet stretch of coastline to a busy resort town. The apartment has its own balcony with a sea view, a good spot for morning coffee or watching the light change over the bay in the evening. Koštajnica's position on the western side of the bay puts it close to the Kamenari ferry crossing, which makes moving around the coast simple without long drives around the water. The setting is residential and calm, suited to travellers who want the bay itself to be the main attraction rather than nightlife or crowds.

About the area

This stretch of coast lies between Koštajnica and Kamenari, on the northern shore where the Bay of Kotor squeezes into the Verige narrows — the choke point the Venetians could close with a chain, roughly 300 metres across at its tightest. Balconies face south over the water toward Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks and the wooded hump of St George; the far shore is near enough that you hear church bells across it on a still morning. The waterfront is working village rather than resort: stone landings, boats on moorings, olives and figs on the terraces above the road.

Kamenari is the practical hinge of this part of the bay. The ferry crosses the narrows to Lepetane in a few minutes and saves the long drive around the inner bay, putting Tivat, Porto Montenegro and the airport within easy reach, while Herceg Novi lies west along the coast road. In the other direction it is a short run to Perast and then Kotor, where the Old Town's marble lanes and the fortress staircase above them justify an early start before the cruise crowds arrive. Swimming here is off concrete platforms and pebble pockets, into deep, cold, exceptionally clear water.
