Biokovo is a protected nature park, that spreads across and area of 19,550 ha2 on Mount Biokovo. The position of the mountain alone is like a gain wall above the Makarska Riviera. This unique sea belt, features natural elements such as deep chasms, caves, abysses and forests of beech, Some of the caves are so deep, that even during the hot summer months, snow and ice can be found inside, which were used years ago as a store for sustaining food in the summer. For Tourist exploration of the mountain, we would like to single out the botanical garden, and the Biokovo road, that leads to the peak of the mountain Vošac and St. Jure, (engl. St. George). Recreation lovers can enjoy mountain bicycling, hiking, horseback riding, and many other activities, and for the especially adventurous paragliding.

The Botanical Garden is located just past the village Kotišina. (Accessible by car from Makarska from the road towards Vrgorac, turning left after the second kilometre, driving for another 1km. Accessible by hike on a marked trail from Makarska).

St. Jure (St. George) is the highest peak on Mount Biokovo reaching 1762m above sea level. The peak is accessible by car, which makes it especially attractive and easy to enjoy. The Peak was named after the small chapel built on the top, which was moved to a slightly lower location in 1964 when a telecommunication tower was built there. The St, George chapel was first mentioned in 1646, every year on the last Saturday of July there is a pilgrimage to the chapel. From the very top of the peak, a beautiful view arises of the Makarska Riviera, central Dalmatian islands and on very clear days, the tops of Italian mountains (Mount Gargano).

At a glance the park seems to leave the impression of being barren, however the reality is actually quite opposite. There are over 1500 plant species growing on Biokovo. The well known Biokovo bell (Edraianhtus pumilio), the uskolisna zečina (Centaurea cuspidata) and the Slava klisura (Centaurea gloriosa) all grow on the mountain. Mountain goats and uflons are two of the more interesting mammals and mountain birds such as the golden eagle habituate the mountain.

The park is located 6km from Makarska towards Vrgorac, where the Biokovo road takes you to the entrance to the park.

Ticket price for nature park Biokovo is 40 kn.

    Perfect place for those who value peace and independence
    Beautifully located, well-maintained house in a great location (5 minutes from the Korčula port). Surrounding the house is an olive grove, lavender, rosemary, orange trees, and pomegranates. A large pool with clean and well-filtered water - perfect for bathing both during the day and at night. The house (bathroom/kitchen) is equipped with everything needed. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, eager to answer any question/request. A welcoming liqueur and delicious cake awaited us 😋. The house is situated high up, offering breathtaking views of the sea, the Pelješac peninsula, and Orebić. 3-10 minutes by car to a store, bakery, vegetable market, and fish market. I recommend it for couples and families with kids who never leave the pool 😁.

    A dream-come-true holiday.
    Perfect place to spend the time with your family, without any noise or crowds. Extraordinary view! Our kids loved to check the garden each day and find cucumbers, tomatoes or eggplants for dinner. Of course the best part, swimming pool all day! :-) Driveway well prepared, but very steep at some points, so please be careful when traveling with a big van. In this case, when in doubt, contact the owners, they will help for sure :-) Thank you to the owners for the hospitality and help!

    A dream on earth! A place you would never leave.
    We enjoyed our holiday soooo much. A lovely house up on the hill, marvelous vieuw, total privacy, a great swimmingpool (and even greater swimmingpoolboy ☺) a bakeoven in the open air and in 10 minutes in the cosy old town of Korcula. Thank you Ostoya en Jelena for your hospitality and making our staying so pleasant. Nothing we asked was to much for you. We surely will come back next year.

    Krásné prostředí, příjemní a vstřícní majitelé.
    Ubytování je na krásném místě (samotě) uprostřed olivového háje, ze kterého je krásný výhled na Pelješac. Malý nedostatek byl v tom, že každou noc byla slyšet nedaleká diskotéka.

    Ein Paradies
    Wir wohnten nicht nur inmitten der phantastischen Natur in einem entzückenden Haus, welches mit viel Liebe gestaltet wurde und mehr als genügend Platz bot. Es fehlte an Nichts. Die Gastgeberfamilie bestach durch Aufmerksamkeit, Zuvorkommenkeit Großzügigkeit und nicht zuletzt durch Herzlichkeit. All dies war in Summe für eine wunderschöne, außergewöhnlich entspannende Zeit verantwortlich - herzlichsten Dank dafür!
