Makarska Riviera’s history and culture
While areas near present-day Makarska Riviera have been settled since pre-history, the main town itself was established in the Middle Ages. It has seen many different rulers, having been under the control of the Kingdom of Croatia, the Venetians, the Ottomans and the Austrians. Following World War II, the Makarska Riviera was successfully developed as a tourist area. Visit during the summer months to enjoy the excellent weather and exciting activities.
Makarska Riviera Hotel for a beach holiday
The Makarska Riviera is a beach area with a well-established tourist infrastructure and easy-going atmosphere. It attracts visitors with a penchant for the outdoors, who are looking to enjoy its appealing beach and mountain scenery, as well as its many cafés and restaurants. Swim, hike and mountain bike at nearby beaches and parks and discover the main town’s interesting museums, restaurants and bars.
Sheltered by the Biokovo Mountains, the town and coast around Makarska generally experience mild weather, making it a favourable beach destination. Rent a paddle boat or take an exhilarating ride on an inflatable banana boat at Makarska Beach or retreat to the quiet nudist Nugal Makarska Beach east of town.
Besides beaches, the Makarska Riviera has other natural assets, including Nature Park Biokovo. Follow the park’s scenic trails, many of which curve up and around the limestone and pine-covered slopes of Mount Biokovo. While here, investigate the Biokovo Botanical Garden, which not only has numerous indigenous plant specimens, but also offers great views over the nearby islands of Brač and Hvar.
Makarska town
Back in town, walk along the palm-dotted promenade and through the town, where white-washed, red-roofed houses dominate. Stop at the Makarska Municipal Museum for insight into Makarska’s history and the Franciscan Monastery to inspect one of the world’s largest collections of snails and shells.
