The last days of summer are made for enjoyment - in every ray of the Sun, conversation and bite. Although the rhythm is lighter, in September we use more than a vacation - there are fewer crowds, and beauty is noticeable at every step.
"Miholjsko ljeto" (when warm September is ideal for swimming) is becoming common, and September and October are increasingly popular for vacations in Montenegro. However, one city stands out with its Mediterranean charm. Tivat, which was created for enjoyment!
Let's see why Boka bay youngest city is so irresistible at this time of year?
Dream place - Bjelila

The golden hour and the silence of the bay
Time slips like sand, and the sky becomes a painter's canvas - with a real explosion of colors, from dark blue to bright red.
Golden hour - ideal for swimming in the silence and peace of the bay, taking photos or the aforementioned glass of wine on one of the pontoons. Many people do not know that Tivat has the most sun of all the cities of Boka and that the most beautiful sunsets are right here.
Islands with soul
Boka Kotorska has seven islands, three of which belong to Tivat - the Island of Flowers, Sveti Marko and Our Lady of Mercy. There is a tradition that once all three islands were connected. The small decorations of the bay keep numerous legends, relics and historical stories, so it is often said that these are islands with a soul. It is unnecessary to talk about beauty.
Rent a boat or join a cruise (there is also a night cruise) and discover the secrets of the bay in September.
