Makarska

The Makarska Riviera is part of the hinterland of central Dalmatia, stretching approximately 60 km in length and 3 km in width. Nestled between the slopes of a mountain (1,762 m) and bathed in sunshine for more than 2,700 hours per year, with an average temperature above 20°C, the Makarska Riviera is a true Mediterranean paradise.

The beautiful blue sea boasts an annual average temperature of 20°C, while in the summer months, sea temperatures range between 25°C and 27°C. Winters are mild and sunny, and summers are long and warm, accompanied by a refreshing sea breeze that brings natural relief during the hotter days.

The center of the Makarska Riviera is the town of Makarska, which is surrounded by a series of picturesque villages. To the northwest are Brela, Baška Voda, Promajna, Bratuš, and Krvavica. To the southeast lie Tučepi, Podgora, Drašnice, Igrane, Živogošće, Blato, Drvenik, Zaostrog, and Gradac.

During the tourist season, each town along the Makarska Riviera hosts various cultural, entertainment, sports, and recreational events. In Makarska, all events are organized under the program "Makarska Summer." The most famous events include the "Fishermen's Night," the "Summer Carnival," and the "Night of Kalalarga."
