Marko Radonjić Apartments

Marko Radonjić Apartments sits within easy reach of the water in Kotor, on Montenegro's Adriatic coast. This apartment sleeps 2 guests and has one bedroom with one bed, plus one bathroom, making it a straightforward base for a couple or a solo traveller who wants space to settle in rather than a hotel room. The location is the property's strongest point. The sea is 20 metres away and the city beach 40 metres, so swimming is a matter of stepping outside. The Old Town of Kotor, with its walls and lanes, is a 7-minute walk. A mini market sits 10 metres from the door for daily supplies, parking is 20 metres away, the bus stop is a 5-minute walk, and the health centre is about 10 minutes on foot. The accommodation includes a kitchen, cable TV, air conditioning, and internet. The owners also let further apartments and rooms on the same site.

About the area

Seven minutes on foot is the whole distance between this corner of Dobrota and the walls of Kotor, which puts it at the point where the village stops being a separate place and simply becomes the edge of town. The city beach is a few dozen metres away, the bus stop and a mini market are closer than that, and the medical centre is a short walk. The combination makes for an unusually unstructured holiday: swim before breakfast, walk into town for coffee, come back for the hottest part of the afternoon.

The green market against the old town's northern wall is worth building a morning around. What is on the tables changes through the season, from cherries and broad beans in early June to figs, grapes and pomegranates by September, alongside mountain cheese kept in oil, honey, dried ham from Njeguši and bottles of home-pressed olive oil and rakija. Later, the squares inside the gates fill up, and the town's habit of eating late means the terraces around the clock tower are at their busiest well after nine.
