Villa Katarina 2nd Floor Apartments

Forty steps up Petra Svacica from the Lapad Bay waterfront, Villa Katarina's second-floor apartments keep private balconies facing the pine-covered peninsula rather than the street. Each unit runs its own kitchenette, useful for families skipping restaurant rounds after beach days.

Lapad's promenade of cafes and pebble coves sits a five-minute walk downhill; the Old Town harbor is a fifteen-minute bus ride via the Lapad Bay stop. Parking is arranged on-site, a rarity for the area.

The apartments suit self-catering travelers and small families over couples seeking hotel service.
