The City
The guide was updated:
Once a sleepy fishing village, tucked away in the embrace of the Venetian Empire, Tivat has been swept up in a transformation, thanks to the glitzy Porto Montenegro marina that lures yachts and sailors from around the world. Yet, even amid the luxury and sleek boats, Tivat manages to keep a bit of its old soul. Wander down narrow cobbled streets, past timeworn stone buildings, and you’ll feel that easy, small-town charm still lingers in the air.
Though Tivat may be synonymous with its glamorous marina today, it’s a town with deep roots that stretch back to the Illyrians and Romans. You can still catch glimpses of that ancient Mediterranean spirit as you stroll the waterfront or pop into a local café. The Venetian legacy is woven through the town, with quaint buildings and quiet corners that feel frozen in time.
These days, Tivat might be smaller and quieter than its flashier neighbours like Kotor or Budva, but that’s part of what makes it great. There’s a real mix of modern luxury and relaxed Mediterranean living here, and it’s easy to see why it’s becoming a popular spot for those looking to escape the bigger crowds.
