Sunny days in Makarska and Dubrovnik


I spend a wonderful two weeks in Makarska two years ago. It was my best vacation ever! The town itself is charming.

Crystal-clear- and Biokovo mountains

The city of Makarska  is one of the most attractive and beautiful town, placed on Dalmatan coast and is the center of the Makarska Riviera. It is beautiful, picturesque town,  located below the mountain of Biokovo, which is 1762 meter high - it is one of the highest Croatian mountain.   Biokovo is not a single mountain but a range of mountains, it stretches about 25 km It is definitely worth visiting! There are two high peaks: Sveti Jure – 1762m and Sinjal – 1360m. 


The Biokovo mountains
It is famous for wide promenade with a lot of shops, fashionable restaurants, cafes, hidden, little rocky beaches, interesting landscapes, the crystal-clear water and Biokovo mountains.Makarska is perfect young people looking to have a good time, but also for families.

Sea urchins are common in Makarska region

It is ideal place to relax, but Makarska offers also possibilities for active vacation, such as: windsurfing, banana tube, jet-ski, scuba diving biking, jet- tennis. I rented a bike and explore Makarska and its superb surroundings and also rode with a parachute – parasailing and enjoyed unique and breathtaking views of the coast from the air. This was my first time parasailing,  but it won't be the last.  It is one of the best things to do in Makarska.


Parasailing experience
The view was so spectacular!
I also visited another pleaces: island– Bol and  Dubrovnik - is only three hours drive from Makarska. I spend only one day there, but it was enough time to walk around the city

I highly recommend Makarska and its surroundings. It is absolutely beautiful and a worthwhile place to visit.
