Here’s why Croatia’s Makarska Riviera is all about the drama
The IndependentCentral Dalmatia’s coastline is packed with drama – and few places more so than along the Makarska Riviera. Biokovo Nature Park features beautifully contrasting scenery, hiking trails, breathtaking views and the impressive Sveti Jure peak Amid all this drama are some of Croatia’s best-loved beach resorts and historic towns, which go hand in hand with some of Central Dalmatia’s most exhilarating adventure playgrounds. I start off on a high – literally, as I’m in the mountains of Biokovo Nature Park following the narrow winding roads leading up from the town of Makarska. Ahead of me is Sveti Jure, Dalmatia’s highest mountain, which, despite towering over this seemingly bare landscape, is actually accessible via Croatia’s highest paved road. Makarska Beach, with its pebbly shores, water sports, cafés and family-focused activities, is one of the town’s biggest draws On the other side of the cape is one of Makarska’s biggest draws – an enormous stretch of pebbly beach and all the water sports, cafés and family-focused activities that come with it.
