Makarska riviera

Makarska riviera is one of the most beautiful parts of adriatic coast. The fame of Makarska riviera is based on kilometers of beaches, pebbled beaches streched all along the riviera, or because the mountain Biokovo with its high peaks, which arises directly from the sea and give you such a beautiful view on the seaside surounded by the islands of Brac and Hvar. The villages all have sweeping beaches and seem to be divided in two: a business section along the coast road, and beach plus hotels down by the sea. In detail there may not be much to write home about, but the general effect of the string of orange-roofed villages curving around the deep blue Adriatic, against the spectacular backdrop of the towering, pale grey Biokovo Ridge, is breathtaking. Makarska is the center and famous touristic destination but not the only one: there are a lot of villages in which you will be able to catch mediterranean spirit - and listen the symphony of cicades, sea and wind. Beyond Makarska, the villages and beachcs of the Riviera - Tučcpi, Podgora, Igrane, Drvenik, Zaostrog - stretch down towards Ploče, ending at Gradac.
