Tivat

About Tivat

Tivat rests on Kotor Bay, a relaxed Montenegrin coastal town shaped by yacht berths, pine-lined walks and Adriatic water.

The waterfront has a polished, easygoing feel, with cafés along Pine Promenade and mountain-backed views across the bay. Porto Montenegro brings marina life, designer shops and the Naval Heritage Collection Museum, while boat trips reach Our Lady of the Rocks and kayaking follows the sheltered coast.

Plavi Horizonti Beach lies near Radovići, and local menus feature Buzara and Njeguški pršut. Porto Montenegro is the main area for a stay, close to the marina and waterfront.
