Lovćen National Park is about a 45-minute drive from Tivat, and honestly, the drive itself is half the fun. The winding roads take you through some jaw-dropping scenery, so don’t rush it. Once you’re there, the park has it all—mountain views, thick forests, and plenty of trails if you’re up for a hike. At the top, you’ll find the Njegoš Mausoleum, a monumental tribute to Montenegro’s famous poet and ruler, Petar II Petrović Njegoš. From up there, you'll also get some of the best views around, stretching out over the Bay of Kotor.

This famous 16 kilometre hiking trail down a spectacular mountain gorge runs all the way to the island's southern coast. You will need sturdy shoes, water and a hat to shield you from the blazing sun. Spending the night at the trail's end and catching a bus back to Chania the following day may be a good idea.

This is Tivat’s waterfront heart—a lively promenade lined with palm trees, cafés, and the occasional moored yacht. Locals linger over espresso, kids ride bikes, and visitors take their time soaking in the bay views. The sea is just a few steps away, so if the sun gets too much, a quick splash will do the trick.

After exemplary restoration work was carried out, the Teatro Sociale reopened to the public in the spring of 2009 – two century after its inauguration in 1808 – with a rich calendar of shows.
