      Dear Lu,

      Unfortunately, there are no direct lines from Zabljak and Kotor to Tivat Airport, but there is a bus from Kotor to Tivat (bus station) which passes by the airport and you could ask the driver to make a stop near the airport. Otherwise, your only option is getting a taxi.

      Best regards!

    Koja je cena taxija od Aerodroma u Tivtu do Djenovica? I da li postoji neki bus koji ide u tom pravcu u slucaju da je taxi preskup?
    Hvala na odgovoru!

      Poštovani,

      cijena taksija varira, a naš savjet je da pripupitate cijenu prije same vožnje. Očekujte cijene od minimalno 10-ak eura.
      Nažalost, autobusi ne prometuju iz zrače luke.

      Srdačno,
      Maja, GBB Team
