It is native to Ukraine (Crimean Peninsula), Bulgaria, Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Southern Italy (Apulia).

[1] Kotschy's gecko is mainly nocturnal but at cooler times of year it is often active in the day as well, especially early and late.

[3] When disturbed, it retreats into dense undergrowth, hides in crevices among rocks, or clings onto the underside of overhangs.

[3] The female Kotschky's gecko lays two eggs (occasionally one) under stones or in a crevice and these take eleven to eighteen weeks to hatch into juveniles about 2 cm (0.8 in) long.
