Tivat is, in my opinion, the most beautiful city in Montenegro. There are more modern, there are older, and more historical, but Tivat is just the right amount of everything.
The former naval base is now "Porto Montenegro", a superyacht marina developed by Canadian billionaire Peter Munk, then sold in 2016 to the Investment Corporation of Dubai.
Tivat is located in the central part of the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska, or simply "Boka"), south of mount Vrmac. The municipality lies mostly south of the town, and has an exit to open sea at the tourist location Pržno inlet near Radovići village to the south. Its central part, where Tivat Airport is located, lies in fertile Grbalj valley. The airport is located near the isthmus of Luštica peninsula, which belongs to the municipality of Herceg Novi for the most part.
In Serbian and Montenegrin languages, the town is known as Tivat (Тиват); in Italian and Venetian as Teodo; the name of the city is derived either from the name of Illyrian Queen Teuta, who ruled the region in 3rd Century BC or from the Greek word "Θείοδος" (Theiodos meaning "way of God").
