Why visit
Porto Montenegro is the headline; a marina of 600+ berths, designer boutiques, the Naval Heritage Museum (housed in restored Cold War buildings), and waterfront dining. From Tivat, water taxis reach the medieval Bay of Kotor towns of Perast and Kotor in 30 minutes. The 16th-century ostrog (Buca-Luković summer palace) and the Pležta beach offer quieter charm. Day-trip to Lovćen National Park (Njegoš's mausoleum, sweeping bay views) and the medieval town of Kotor. Sample crni rizot (squid-ink risotto) and pršut.
When to avoid
July to August brings serious crowds and prices triple in Porto Montenegro. The bay road can become choked. Outside the marina, infrastructure is basic. Don't expect a beach destination; the bay shore is mostly concrete platforms with stones; sand beaches are an hour to Velika Plaža. Driving the bay's coastal road is white-knuckle in summer. Cash (euros) is preferred at small businesses.
Summer (Ljeto)
June through September is warm, sunny, and dry; highs around 30°C with cooling Adriatic breezes. The bay water warms to swimming temperature and Porto Montenegro hosts regattas, classical concerts, and outdoor cinema. Yacht season hits peak. Day-trips to Kotor and Perast become possible by water taxi. Pack swimwear, light cotton, sun protection, and reef-safe shoes for stony beaches; book restaurants ahead.
Winter (Zima)
December through February are the cooler or wetter period in Tivat. In Tivat, winter often shifts attention toward performances, museums, cafes, and long walks when the weather cooperates. For Tivat, ask how much the season limits walking, transport, and day trips, not just what the thermometer says. Tivat can still be rewarding in this period if interiors and compact walks carry the day. For Tivat, shorten exposed walks, verify opening times, and avoid making a late or wet return depend on weak transport links.
