For centuries, travellers have explored the waters of Tivat Bay in search of adventure. Nestled along the Montenegrin coast, this landscape is home to three beautiful islands that are just waiting to be discovered.
St. Marko Island
This charming island is situated right in the middle of Tivat Bay and has plenty to offer visitors. It is known for its historical sights, including a 16th-century monastery and a fortress that dates back to the time of Ottoman rule.
St Marko Island also features several restaurants and cafes where visitors can enjoy traditional Montenegrin cuisine or just take in the stunning views from their outdoor terraces. The main beach on St Marko Island is a popular spot for sunbathing and swimming, making it a great place for families to relax and unwind.
Lady Of Mercy Island
Another one of the islands in Tivat Bay is Lady Of Mercy Island—a tiny patch of land surrounded by crystal clear waters that’s perfect for day trips or weekend getaways. Here visitors will find some lovely beaches with soft white sand as well as numerous hidden coves tucked away among the rocks, which provide ideal spots for swimming or simply sitting back and taking in the breathtaking scenery all around them. There are also several walking paths located around Lady Of Mercy Island that offer beautiful views over both land and sea.
Blue Cave Island
Last but not least is Blue Cave Island, so named because of its famed sea cave—the Blue Grotto—which can be accessed by boat or kayak tours departing from the nearby town of Herceg Novi. Inside this enchanting cave lies an underwater tunnel full of fascinating rock formations and vibrant marine life, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling and scuba diving. Visitors can also explore other parts of Blue Cave Island on foot, as there are several hiking trails winding through its lush forests and along its rocky shorelines.
