Muo
A single waterfront lane of fishermen's houses sits directly opposite the Old Town, with konobas serving the day's catch a few metres from the bay.

T…The village occupies a tight strip between the water and the slopes of Vrmac, with stone houses along a single coastal road and a small harbour at its centre. The distance across the bay to Kotor at this point is under a kilometre, and the views of the Old Town walls and the mountains behind are among the most striking anywhere on the southern shoreline.
The village has a quietly working character that distinguishes it from the more tourist-facing settlements along the bay. A traditional boat-building yard operated here for generations, and the maritime heritage of the wider Boka Bay area is woven into the fabric of local life. The ferry crossing that once connected Muo directly to Kotor made it a natural residential base for those working in the city, and this residential character persists today in the pace of the place and the absence of significant tourist infrastructure.
Self-catering apartments in Muo offer an affordable and quiet base close to the city. Kotor is reachable in around ten minutes by car via the bay road, and the coastal cycle route toward Prčanj and Stoliv runs directly through the village. Kayak rental operators along the Dobrota and Muo waterfront allow visitors to paddle across the bay to Kotor directly. The listings below cover accommodation and local services in and around Muo.
