With a width of approx. 110 kilometres and a length of approx. 120 kilometres, Montenegro is one of the smallest countries in Europe. The population of Montenegro is only slightly more than 600,000. Between the neighbouring countries of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Albania, the country is located away from mass tourism as one is accustomed to with large parts of the coast lines of Spain, Italy and Croatia - large hotel complexes are the exception in Montenegro. Large parts of the coast and the inland appear very unaffected and are only sparsely populated. The mountain regions with peaks over 2500 m, as well as the vegetation and flora, impress with breathtaking beauty. Numerous canyons offer hikers and nature enthusiasts unique landscapes. The climate on the coast is also very mild during the winter months - in inland areas, on the other hand, longer periods of frost and snow are not unusual. The country is not part of the EU but introduced the euro as a currency in 2002. The Montenegrin appears a little curt and reserved upon first contact - the Slavic language helps to strengthen this impression. However, once you get to know the people better, the Montenegrin turns out to be a friendly, pleasant and straightforward character. The country can be described as politically and economically stable. The culinary side is at all times Serbian-Montenegrin - an increasing internationalisation is noticeable. The architecture of the villages and towns along the coast is very old-Mediterranean - alleyways and streets give the impression that time seems to have stopped here at some point. The country makes you feel as if you were far away from the hustle and bustle of Europe. The Bay of Kotor has been declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.
While the majority of tourists are Russians and Serbs, the number of tourists from other European countries is rather small. One can still speak of a very individualised and sustainable quality tourism with not more than 10 million tourists annually. Politically, however, a significant growth in tourism is wanted. Hope remains that the unspoilt nature of vast parts of the coast and of the inland region will not suffer because of this, that no over-dimensional building development of the wonderful mountain slopes will be a result of this.

Montenegro has now reached an important position in the luxury segment as well. The construction of real estate in the higher and upper price segments and also the development of marina ports are forging ahead in large steps. Smaller hotel and holiday resorts in the premium segment are on the rise. Beautiful villas can be found in Budva, Kotor, Tivat and their surroundings. The prices for real estate and land are still very affordable compared to those of Central and South European luxury hotspots.
The very luxurious residence "Portonovi" is currently under construction in the Bay of Kotor - including 275 villas, lofts and apartments, as well as more than 230 berths in the appendant port facility, which even allows mega and super yachts to dock. This high-end offer is complemented by numerous boutiques and restaurants located in this residence.
The already completed, luxurious marina "Port Montenegro" is also situated in the Bay of Kotor. This first-class facility includes nearly 200 luxury apartments, more than 400 berths, a luxury hotel, restaurants and various boutiques, in which the international jet set is now often seen.
Montenegro is exactly the right place if you are looking for untouched nature with breathtaking scenery paired with high-quality, luxurious and discerning tourism, or if you wish to settle down here by means of a second or third residence, if you like to experience unforgettable moments in the Bay of Kotor or on the Adriatic coast with your own yacht or charter yacht, or if you would like to get away from the hustle and bustle of Spanish, Italian, and French coastal areas.
However, if you are looking for proximity to cultural offers, endless shopping malls and shrines to consumerism, you will be better off in the surroundings of famous metropolises such as Milan, Rome, Nice, Barcelona, Palma or similar regions around the Mediterranean.
In conclusion, Montenegro is worth a visit in any case, but one should also consider acquiring a second or third permanent domicile there.
