The Radanovici Region Bigova is located on the southwest coast of Montenegro, outside the Bay of Kotor on the Adriatic Sea. The area has a mild Mediterranean climate, with high temperatures in the summer and cooler winters. Bigova enjoys ideal conditions for a seaside holiday, as the area sees plenty of sunshine during the summer - around 240 sunny days each year - and the days are hot and dry. Early in the season, May enjoys an average temperature or 22C and 8 hours of sun. The water temperature in May is 18C, however this rises to a warmer 21C in June and by August has reached a very pleasant 25C. July and August see average temperatures of 29C, and during this time the sun shines for 10 hours each day - ideal conditions for relaxing on the beach. The summers are dry, with June seeing 66mm of rain, and July only receiving 46mm. As Bigova sits in a sheltered bay, the resort is protected from the coastal winds that blow along the shores - the minstrel from the south during the summer, and the tempest from the north in the winter. Winter weather is much milder in Bigova, with October seeing average highs of 20C and 6 hours of sun, and November dropping down to 14C, with a maximum of 4 hours of sunshine.

The clear waters are ideal for swimming, diving, snorkelling and other watersports. Bigova Area The Kotor Bay- Boka Kotorska (Fjord) Allow a day for the following tour.
