What's interesting:
*Tivat's landmark is Porto Montenegro. This is the most magnificent port on the Adriatic with a marina. This is a whole town with cozy cafes, fashionable boutiques, exquisite Venetian-style architecture, a tangerine garden and an impressive gallery of the most luxurious yachts.
*Ferry crossing across the Bay of Kotor
*Herceg Novi is a fortress town. The main attraction is the old town, which is located between two fortresses: one Spanjola is located on top of a hill, and the other Citadel is by the sea. A walk along the stone cobbled streets between old houses will be fascinating.
Herceg Novi is also a city of a thousand steps, because it is located on a hill and all the buildings cascade down. Hence the great number of stairs in the city.
*Savina Monastery (the miraculous icon of the Savina Mother of God, the relics of the Serbian Empress Helena (St. Eugenia), as well as the finger of St. Thomas the Apostle and a particle of the relics of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious are kept here)
