Tivat is a mix of old and new and it’s part of Montenegro. It has historical buildings and churches placed side by side with modern developments.
Montenegro, a tiny country in the Balkans, is unknown by many. But, in recent years it has become an up-and-coming expat destination. Among the more common destinations for expats in Montenegro is Tivat.
Most importantly, Tivat is a coastal town located in the Kotor Bay, just a 15-minute drive from Kotor.
Both Kotor and Tivat are bisected by a mountain and connected by a highway tunnel. And, the scenery isn’t quite as dramatic, but it gets blasted by sunshine all day.
Tivat has a modern, lively feel. The main town has businesses, restaurants, cafés, shops, housing of all kinds, and a couple of small parks. Over the years, it has gained popularity among tourists.
Overall, Tivat offers natural beauty, cultural attractions, and modern amenities making this destination more and more appealing to possible expats and retirees.
The downsides to Montenegro as a place to live are that it’s far away from North America within the context of Europe…
So far away, in fact, that many North Americans have never heard of this country.
Figuring out if Tivat is the place for you ultimately comes down to your priorities and your life goals.
