Tivat holidays

Holidays to Tivat see you touching down in the Bay of Kotor, in between jewel-blue water and tree-cloaked hills.

Sailboat central

Tivat’s shiny marina – Porto Montenegro – is packed with break-the-bank boats, so it’s ideal for a wander to do some nautical window-shopping. It’s the deepest harbour in southern Europe, and comes flanked by the country’s trademark rolling hills. For daytrip fans, there are plenty of barges and sailboats ready to whisk you to the local hotspots.

A bayside aristocrat

You’ll find Tivat in the central section of the Bay of Kotor, nestled beneath lofty Mount Vrmac. Tivat’s got a fairly high-status history. An Illyrian queen – Teuta, the town’s alleged namesake – had a summer home here, and during the Middle Ages the area was almost exclusively owned by wealthy noblemen. Also, Tivat was ruled by the Republic of Venice for around 250 years. You can still spot some Venetian-esque buildings here and there.

Close to Kotor

The red-roofed town of Kotor is 15 minutes’ drive from Tivat, so you’re in a perfect position to explore the country’s charming poster child. It’s packed with shops, bars and restaurants, and the views are jaw-dropping. Head over in the late afternoon, and you can witness the town’s day-to-night transformation as the after dark scene begins to buzz.
