Tourist destination info Makarska

Makarska is one of the most popular tourist destinations of the Croatian coast which is attractive because of its natural and climate characteristics and diverse tourist offering. It is one of the most beautiful pearls of the Adriatic and is the center of the region better known as Makarska Rivijera. It is settled at the bottom of Biokovo Mountain and is comprised of a Mediterranean – style old town and a newer part with hotels, restaurants, shops and others. The first known inhabitants of Makarska were the Illyrians. The first proof of the ancient settlement Inariona dates back to the first half of the 4th century. In the official records of the Salona Parliament of the year 533, Mucurum is mentioned as a town where a diocese was formed. This city has gone through a long history and resisted many conquerors, making it one of the most beautiful destinations of the Adriatic. This city has several historical monuments and museums. If you wish to get better acquainted with its history, you can visit the Franciscan monastery (houses a pinacotheca, library, unique Malacological museum and the “Mountain and Sea Institute”), churches of St. Mark, St. Peter and St. Philip, city museum and others.

      Makasrka is a very nice location, with beaches along the coast. Still, it is a relativelly expensive location, you should be prepared to pay including daily parking at each beach, and it is not a cheap cost. Good food, nice views. Locals are somehow polite, but distant, they are lacking the warm welcoming spirit which greeks have.

      Divni Jadran i neobicni domacini.
      Boravak u gradu i na lijepom Jadnanu je ono sto je zadovoljstvo.
      Odnos domacina prema gostima je neprimjeren. S obzirom da su bili u pitanju mladji gosti to ne daje pravo vlasniku objekta da ih tretira kao huligane ili tinejdzere koji su, po osjećaju vlasnika prostora, došli da pokradu nešto iz objekta. Radilo de o pristojnoj djeci koja su odgojena u etički ispravnom okruženju i nisu ta vrsta djačaka koji dolaze na odmor činiti štetu drugim ljudima. Niko nema pravo svoga gosta tretirati na taj način. Frižider sobi je neuredan i ispunjen neugodnim mirisom, namještaj je star i dotrajao. Uglavnom iskustvo koje nećemo ponovii na ovom mjestu.

      Sehr vielfältig, für jeden etwas dabei.
      Poren ist eine schöne Stadt mit Charme, auch die Region rundum spiegelt das wieder, wobei uns Porec am besten gefiel um Urlaub zu machen. Die Leute sind meist freundlich und unaufdringlich. Man kann Schiffstouren machen, Jetski fahren oder einfach am Strand chillen. Auch dort sind in der Regel immer Toiletten und duschen vorhanden. Weiterhin Bars/Restaurants und viele Supermärkte in der Strandnähe.

      Ładny, czysty apartament. Dobrze wyposażony, blisko wybrzeża i centrum. Super taras a park piniowy przy plaży to najlepszy jaki widziałem.
      Brak negatywów a w Chorwacji bywam prawie co roku od 15 lat.

      I prezzi quest''anno sono eccessivi, l''offerta non è migliorata ma i prezzi sono aumentati.

      Ubytovanie úžasné, priamo na pláži (otvoríte bránu z terasy pred apartmánom a ste na pláži). Vrelo odporúčam :)
