Kotor

In Montenegro, Kotor is a must-see location, and with good reason! This quaint seaside community is tucked away in a gorgeous harbor surrounded by towering mountains. The Middle Ages-era Old Town, which has been restored, is a maze of twisting cobblestone streets, charming squares, and ancient structures. The city walls, which provide spectacular views of the harbor and the neighboring mountains, should definitely be strolled around. The San Giovanni Fortress is reached by Kotor’s imposing fortress walls that extend up the mountainside. Although the ascent to the stronghold may be difficult, the breathtaking panoramas are well worth the effort. You can take a boat tour of the bay if hiking isn’t your thing.

Whether you want to relax on the beach, visit historic sites, or dance the night away at one of the many bars and clubs, this seaside town has something for everyone. Budva’s breathtaking beaches, which run for miles along the Adriatic Sea, are among the city’s top draws. Mogren Beach, Becici Beach, and Jaz Beach are a few of the most well-known beaches (the latter is well-known for hosting summertime international music events).

Tivat

On the Bay of Kotor, the lovely seaside town of Tivat is renowned for its magnificent marinas, beaches, and waterfront promenades. Porto Montenegro is an exclusive marina that houses some of the most  luxurious and expensive ships in the world.

Since Tivat is a true boating paradise, renting a berth in such a location can not only provide your boat with all the safety but also give you and your passengers plenty of comfort. The marina has other amazing things for those who don’t care much about sailing things, like shops, cafes and high-end restaurants. And, if you enjoy history, stop by the Naval Heritage Collection in Tivat to learn more about Montenegro’s nautical past.
