Hotels near Tivat Airport - TIV, Tivat

A scenic place, some places for sightseeing and hiking are close or reachable by car or taxi. The place is not overcrowded and beaches less busy than in Tivat and Kotor. I would recommend to those willing to be outside the crowds.

Beautiful place to visit, but extreme madness in August. Traffic and parking are absolutely impossible. Paid garage closes at midnight, so you have no choice but to leave earlier. We did a small group boat tour to the blue cave...nothing special. Avoid the hassle. Our location was too far, and it took 3 hours back and forth, with a short 15-minute swim at the cave, and a crazy, bumpy, uncomfortable ride back and forth. Not recommended if you have neck or back pain. We are young and fit and found it not relaxing at all.

Tivat Marina(Porto Montenegro )is lovely and modern. The promenade is very pretty with lots of restaurants and cafes. There is also the very upmarket marina which is very chic . lots of road building though to get there.

I found the town itself not quite my vibe but the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. When I need to come back I will make sure to rent a car so I an explore more. The town is a great base for that with everything you need for convenience. Just not much to do in itself but great as a base to explore the region I think. I did find a nice ancient Roman path with ruins just walking distance from my accommodation. It wasn’t mentioned on google maps or in local signage. But that was special.

Kotor is a beautiful town in a great location engage in lots of different activities. We particularly enjoyed the cable car and a boat ride but there is lots to see and do. We had a car so we could travel a bit in the area. The coast drive to Tivat is lovely and we enjoyed some time in Tivat. A word of warning. Traffic jams are an issue. Driving through Kotor can be painstakingly slow. As I write, August 2025, there are major roadworks between Tivat and Budva, which is about 25k. We took an hour and a half from Kotor to Budva and two and a half to return. We moved from Kotor to Virpazar and chose to come over the mountain on the Serpentine. Fab views, tricky enough hairpin bends. We did get caught at a bend where 2 buses met and failed to pass each other. Took about 20 minutes to sort out with about 30 cars having to reverse a couple of hundred yards. Interesting driving! In general we are loving Montenegro. Safe, welcoming and gorgeous.

An expensive tourist city with limited space on free beaches. On paid beaches, sunbed prices can reach up to 45 euros per day. Restaurant food is average in quality and overpriced. Next time, I'll choose a different city.
