Makarska

Makarska  is about 60 km) southeast of Split and 140 km northwest of Dubrovnik.


The city is a located on a horseshoe-shaped bay between the mountains and the Adriatic Sea, thus providing a very good harbor. This again made the city an important location through the various historical periods.

Makarska is the center of the Makarska Riviera, a popular tourist destination under the mountain. The city is noted for its palm-fringed promenade, where cafes, bars and boutiques overlook the harbor.

 

Makarska was our base during this trip, staying at Hotel Vis.
