Do you plan your visit to Montenegro? Do not miss one of the most charming places in Montenegro, the youngest Montenegrin town called Tivat.

Tivat coast

Tivat is located in the central part of the Bay of Kotor, at the foot of the Vrmac mountain. On the southern side, a spacious field spreads out on which the airport is located. From the west is the Lustica bay, overgrown with olive trees, while from the northwest it is surrounded by the bay, which conquers every traveler with its unique appearance.

Tivat is also the youngest town in the Bay of Kotor, named after the Illyrian queen Teuta, who had a summer house and a large garden here in the third century BC. According to tradition, the nobility of nearby Kotor used to build their summer houses and houses here, due to the geographical climate and natural beauty that have made this town a very attractive tourist destination since ancient times.

Today, the remains of these buildings represent important architectural monuments that are part of the tourist offer, but also a picturesque representation of the historical development of Tivat. At the end of the 19th century, with the construction of the Arsenal shipyard, Tivat became the base of the Astro-Hungarian fleet and the phase of accelerated economic development of Tivat began. It was the opening of the Arsenal that enabled the urban development of the city, as auxiliary and later residential structures began to form along the coast.

The construction of the luxury nautical resort Porto Montenegro (in 2009) made the current tourist offer of Tivat one of the most attractive for the nobility of recent times. In the mentioned tourist settlement, popular construction dominates – summer houses of modern apartment and hotel type.

The airport in Tivat is only 3 km away from the city center, and at the airport you can pick up your car, which you can previously book on the website of the Costa Rent a Car agency. On the coast of Tivat there are several beaches recognized as one of the most luxurious and interesting in Montenegro. In general, there are about 17 of them, and this does not apply to private recreational areas and small coves, which are not particularly arranged, but that does not make them less popular.

The coast of the town is full of cafes and restaurants where you can find local products as well as fresh seafood, and if you are not a fan of this food, you can also find Italian cuisine, as well as different types of dishes for everyone’s taste. Tivat’s offer is also focused on cultural tourism, so during the summer season you can watch some of the performances that are traditionally held on the open stages of the summer house ‘Buća‘, as well as various other events that complete the offer of this city.
