Makarska Riviera
A string of tourist villages set in the foothills of Mount Biokovo, with some sixty kilometres of pebble beaches shadede by cypress trees, this is where we find traditional summer vacation sports of the highest quality to be offered not only in Central Dalmatia but in Croatia as a whole. Tourism, especially in the private accommodation sector, which includes superior quality villas, holiday houses, family hotels and apartments, has long been a part of life in this region, with its century-long tourist tradition – one that will continue long into the future. Above the mellow blue waters caressing the coast towers the mountain of Biokovo, itself a Nature Park, with its «feet in the sea and its head in the clouds», as well as its centre – the town of Makarska – rich in history an culture, with preserved church treasuries an museums.
