Cats of Tivat

2007-12-05 03:33:41.0

I don't know why but Montenegro is full of cats. Everywhere you go you see dozens of them, walking, sleeping, hunting, or watching you. For some reason, too, practically all photos of cats I took there came out rather bad. A cat may look at kings; they do not like to be looked at or photographed, it seems..

Tivat (Italian: Teodo; Venetian: Teodo) is a coastal town in southwest Montenegro, located in the Bay of Kotor. It has a population of 9,467 (2003 census). Tivat is the centre of Tivat municipality (population 13,630), which is the smallest municipality by area in Montenegro. Tivat, the youngest town in the Boka area was established on the spacious plateau at the bottom of Vrmac. According to the archives of Kotor, the following names were mentioned here in the 14th century: Teude, Theode, and Theudo who are related to the queen Teuta. Tivat (called Teodo in Venetian language), was under the Republic of Venice as a part of Albania Veneta from 1420 to 1797. Tivat turned into a town by the end of 19th century when in 1889 the Naval arsenal was built by Austrians, and was later used as a military base of Army of Montenegro). Currently, a Canadian businessman Peter Munk is finalising the negotiations about taking over Arsenal and building a vacation resort and mega-marina named "Porto Montenegro". Beginning from 1971 the Tivat Airport acquired the modern runway and it is now a significant airport for foreign air traffic. The tourist potential of Tivat is yet to be fully realized. Only the inlets near Prevlaka, as well as the localities of Zupa and Kalimanj, provide great conditions for the construction of marinas and yachting clubs. Even today, Tivat represents an interesting place for navigators. This little town is aiming to attract many guests in the third millennium. Although it is the youngest town in the Boka region, Tivat has a lot of interesting and attractive destinations. Renaissance Summer House Buca in the centre of city, Ostrvo Cvijeca (Flowers' Island) with sacred monuments, Gornja Lastva, the old nucleus at an altitude of 300 m, the magnificent sandy beach at Plavi Horizonti and the Sveti Marko Island are the most visited tourist destinations in Tivat area. In the city itself there is the natural port Kalimanj. Tivat is also the only place at the Montenegrin coast with an airport. There is also a choice of cultural events, such as "Bocce Olympiad" and "Summer Fest". Tivat boasts a beautiful botanic garden thanks to the Bokan sailors who brought back a wide variety of exotic tree species and ornamental plants from their voyages around the globe. It is important to know where the attractive spots are in this municipality. From Lepetane, which is part of Tivat, a car ferry connects with the western Herceg-Novi side of the Boka. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tivat http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=42.426878&lon=18.700876&z=14&l=1&m=h&v=2.
