For those looking to dive into the sea rather than just view it, there’s the nearby Plavi Horizonti beach, home to a sandy shoreline dotted with craggy caves to explore and gin-clear waters that are calling your name. Naturally, there are plenty of operators who are happy to take you out onto the same waters too, including both group and individual charter options.
The town has plenty to do for history and culture lovers as well, including the Buca-Lukovic Museum and Gallery, the 14th-century home owned by the Buca family, which guests can tour to get a rich sense of Tivat’s history.

And, like every destination in this region, a seafood dining experience is an absolute must. In Tivat, travellers can order plates of fish plucked from the sea just minutes before making their way to the table. Destinations like Ponta Veranda and Babi—Resto Bar are particularly well regarded by previous travellers for their fantastic Mediterranean meals and for highlighting local wines made throughout Montenegro.
Best of all, a visit here will cost you about the same as one to Croatia — USD 112 (HKD 874) a day for Montenegro vs. USD 103 (HKD 804) for Croatia, according to Budget Your Trip. But still, the area’s greatest charm is the fact that you can explore it further without elbowing your way through a crowd, waiting in an endlessly long line, or being left out in the cold for a dinner reservation, making it a fantastic place to spread the tourism wealth on your next trip to Southeast Europe.
