It has a mix of older stone houses and newer residential development spread across the hillside, and forms part of the broader Kotor municipality that has expanded as the city has grown beyond its medieval walls. The character is one of working residential life rather than heritage tourism or waterfront activity.
The mountain backdrop that defines the entire Kotor area is especially prominent from Skaljari, with the limestone ridge leading to the fortress of San Giovanni rising directly behind the neighbourhood. The Old Town walls and the city centre are visible from the higher ground, and the coastal setting of the bay is never far away. The neighbourhood has little of the tourist infrastructure concentrated inside or immediately around the Old Town, but shares the same geographic and environmental setting that makes the wider Kotor area distinctive.
Skaljari is popular with visitors looking for self-catering apartments at lower rates than those available nearer the Old Town gates. The neighbourhood is well connected to the city by road, with Kotor's restaurants, waterfront and attractions reachable in a short drive or taxi ride. The listings below cover self-catering apartments and accommodation in and around Skaljari.
