Prcanj is a peaceful seaside settlement further along the western shore of the bay, beyond Muo. Known for its long waterfront and its large historic church, it's a genuinely tranquil base that suits travellers who want stillness and don't mind driving or taking the shore road into town.
The village stretches along the waterside road with villas, quiet coves and its landmark church set back above the shore. Days are calm and scenic, evenings are very quiet, and this is a place for reading by the water rather than nightlife.
Getting around
You'll rely on a car or taxi to reach the Old Town walls, a drive of around 15–20 minutes along the western shore; Tivat Airport (TIV) is roughly 20–30 minutes away.
