Makarska

Makarska is a delightful old town sitting in the middle of a pretty horseshoeshaped bay against a spectacular backdrop of the impressive Biokovo Mountains.
There is a wonderful palm-fringed promenade with a selection of fashionable cafés, bars and boutiques overlooking the pretty harbour where pleasure craft bob jauntily at their moorings. In one of the narrow stone-paved streets of the old town, you will find the Franciscan Monastery which houses a wonderful sea shell collection featuring a giant clam which weighs over 200 lbs. Close to the main church square there is a colourful flower and fruit market. The town is vibrant with a bustling and cosmopolitan atmosphere, particularly in July and August. Most hotels are located just outside the bay with their own curving pine-protected beaches.
Makarska offers the best of both worlds, old and new, and is an ideal resort for those looking for a livelier holiday and a good choice of facilities.
