Forget the stone-clad churches and Byzantine relics associated with Montenegro's historic towns, because Tivat doesn't concern itself with the past. Once upon a time, this small speck on the map of the Bay of Kotor was just a backwater military base. Then came the investment, and the naval docks were transformed into harbours. Cue the jet setter yachters and A-list visitors, who began spreading word of a new sun-kissed dock in the Adriatic. Chichi cocktail bars dutifully opened up along the promenades and elegant fine-dining restaurants started to formulate their degustation menus. Today, the result is a stylish, hip and upcoming section of the Montenegrin Rivera. Unlike anywhere else in the country, it’s all about enjoying the finer things in life - so long as you have a million-dollar yacht in tow! Of course, rustic spots are never far away – just ask your Tivat tour guide for tips on visiting half-crumbling Gornja Lastva, or beautiful Kotor to the east.
