About Tivat
Tivat sits in the central part of the Bay of Kotor, south of Mount Vrmac, and counts among the bay's medieval towns in the UNESCO-listed Kotor region. Austria built a naval arsenal here in 1889, and a former naval shipyard was later bought for conversion into a resort. Porto Montenegro is now a superyacht marina with restaurants and shops. Plavi Horizonti is a sandy beach in the Tivat area, and Sveti Marko island draws many of the visitors. The homes sit together in one place and are mostly small, with a garden but no pool. Most airport traffic falls between May and September, which is a fair guide to when the town is busiest.
