Nestled beneath Biokovo mountain and surrounded by forest, the coastal city of Makarska
is the picturesque focal point of the Makarska Riveria. The town is roughly in between Split
and Dubrovnik, so it's a good stopover if you're travelling up or down the coast. With a
regular ferry service to Brac Island, famous for its Zlatni Rat Beach, Makarska makes a
good base for exploring the area. Relaxation is paramount in Markaska with opportunities
for strolls along its palm lined promenade and leisurely lunches in trendy harbour cafes. The
Old Town is full of unexpected delights in its intriguing narrow alleyways, such as a fruit
and flower market, boutique shops and a medieval monastery.
