Kotor: Bay of Kotor and Tivat Electric Car Tour — An Authentic and Scenic Adventure
Exploring Montenegro’s stunning coast can often lead to crowded buses and overly touristy spots, but this electric car tour offers a refreshingly intimate way to see the Bay of Kotor and Tivat. With a small group, a knowledgeable guide, and the quiet charm of a vintage Fiat Topolino, this three-hour excursion promises scenic vistas, charming towns, and a taste of luxury at Porto Montenegro.
What we particularly love about this tour is the blend of comfort, eco-friendliness, and the opportunity to enjoy undisturbed views of some of Montenegro’s most iconic sights. The electric vehicle means less noise and a more relaxed experience — perfect for soaking in the scenery.
