Let us turn to history to get to know better all the secrets and legends of a cozy corner by the sea. Tivat is a small town with interesting events. In the 18th century, the political situation was such that the rule of the Venetians was inevitable. Then, taking advantage of Tivat's weakness after the failed reforms of the Venetian emperor, the city was occupied by France, and later by Austria. In the twentieth century, after all the world wars, six Balkan countries united into one powerful maritime state - Yugoslavia. After the collapse, Tivat became a part of modern Montenegro.
Anyone who has visited Montenegro at least once knows about the local wonder of the world - the Island of Flowers (the island-peninsula of Mikholska Prevlaka). No wonder that this place was chosen to build the magnificent monastery of Michael the Archangel. He is deservedly considered a religious symbol of Tivat. The entire coast of the island consists of magnificent beaches under the protection of fragrant vegetation, tall trees.
For all the time of Tivat's existence, completely different personalities ruled in it. They differed in nationalities, characters, ways of government and many others.

Someone remembered the construction of the temple, and someone regime of government. For example, Miholska Prevlaka Monastery and the Holy Trinity Monastery Church remind Tivatians and guests of the resort about the medieval Serbian period of government. Historically not so long ago, in the XIV-XVc. The town was the center of all religions of Montenegro.

The second one, hiding in the lush green of slender cypresses and olive gardens, the island of St. Mark. Out of habit, the natives call it Stradioti («soldier» in Greek), who received this name in the era of Venetian rule from a military camp of Greek origin standing here.
