Nearby Tivat is considered one of Montenegro’s most glamorous towns – once a small, unassuming place, it now has an air of Monaco with its yacht-filled marina, high-end dining and designer stores. It’s the Old Town of Kotor which draws the crowds to the area, however – sights such as St Tryphon’s Cathedral and a host of laidback restaurant terraces add to its considerable charm, while beautiful areas of nature like Lovcen National Park and Lipa Cave provide no end of excursions.The Bay of Kotor is a northern Montenegro highlight, and the town of Tivat is one of its most glamorous spots. Home to a 450-berth, full-service marina, it’s a place to enjoy life to the full and offers upmarket shopping, dining and nightlife, and many special events. The calendar is packed with fashion shows, luxury brand launches, concerts and wine tastings.
Kotor’s stunning Old Town also sits on the bay, enjoying a rugged mountain backdrop. Ideal for water sports on the River Skurda, this popular destination is scenic and historic. Climbing the walls of the Old Town will reward you with spectacular views. Alternatively, take a boat trip – you can visit the Blue Cave, a notable local attraction where snorkelling is the thing to do.
Look out for St Tryphon’s Cathedral and plenty of churches in the Old Town. The town is known for its much-loved street cats, and by visiting the town’s Cat Museum, you’ll be able to contribute to their care. Kotor is especially bustling when cruise ships arrive in port, ensuring the café and restaurant terraces are in demand. Local seafood such as squid and octopus will likely be on the menu.
Montenegro’s beautiful coast provides yet more options for excursions. Its best-known destination, Budva, has its own charming Old Town to explore, along with the upscale Dukley Marina area. The family-friendly Aquapark is a great place to head with kids, and as the biggest water park in the Balkans has no end of thrilling rides and slides. If you’re looking for beaches, there are numerous great ones all along the coast. Highlights include laidback Petrovac, ideal for water sports, and the 12km Velika Plaza in Ulcinj, the longest beach in Europe.
The idyllic Sveti Stefan, south of Budva, is Montenegro’s most photographed destination. The private island is closed to all but the resort’s guests, which occupies it, but you can still enjoy the view from the beaches across the causeway.
Incredible areas of natural beauty, notably the National Parks of Lovcen, Durmitor and Lake Skadar, are well worth exploring, with Lovcen located not far from Kotor. Unmissable sights include the Tara Canyon, the biggest in Europe and second only to the Grand Canyon.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
