Makarska is big on sports in general and water-sports in particular. There is something for everyone: from football, basket and tennis up to windsurf, jet-skiing, paragliding, parasailing, stand-up paddle boarding, flyboarding, rowing, etc.
On the mountain side, Skywalk Heavenly Promenade includes some hiking and promises to experience Mediterranean through tradition, heritage and the wonders of nature.
If you want to "travel with local experts", our friends at the travel agency Simply Adria offer day tours from Makarska: natural beauties, historical sites and gastronomic experiences.
Another travel Agency based in Brela offers a variety of helicopter services: sightseeing, excursions, transfers, private charter flights, up to a romantic sunrise or sunset in the air.
If you happen to visit the island of Hvar in June, make sure you visit its Lavender Festival.
Up from Makarska toward Split, there is Omiš, a must-see town in Dalmatia. Delightful old town, a riviera blessed with the sea, mountains and a river too. The unspoiled nature of the Cetina river canyon offers stunning views, the best zipline in Croatia and all sort of climbing routes.
Driving through Dalmatia, you must have spotted the round checkered symbol of the football club Hajduk. Just as a curiosity, their new home jersey is made of 100% recycled plastic, and to make one jersey requires 13 plastic bottles of 0.5L..
Last but not the least, here is a bonus experience that will cost you nothing! Psst... head to Bratuš, find the Sahara Beach Bar and place your towel on the beach before sunset. Enjoy!
