Why visit Makarska?

Makarska anchors the Dalmatian coast where the limestone massif of Biokovo drops abruptly into the Adriatic. At the St. Peter Peninsula, a paved trail encircles the pine-shaded coastline, offering views of the iconic pebbled shoreline that defines the Makarska Riviera. The core of the town remains focused on the Kačić Square, dominated by the Baroque St. Mark’s Church and the bust of Andrija Kačić Miošić. Visitors congregate along the Riva promenade, a marble-clad walkway lined with moored yachts and bustling terraces that stretch toward the primary harbor, reflecting the town’s long maritime heritage.

Culinary traditions here lean heavily on the surrounding geography. Patrons at local konobas frequently order pašticada, a slow-cooked beef stew simmered in a rich wine sauce, often paired with homemade gnocchi. For a lighter alternative, fresh grilled fish seasoned with local olive oil and blitva—a sautéed chard and potato side—is ubiquitous. Those seeking altitude can drive the winding road up to the Biokovo Skywalk, a horseshoe-shaped glass platform suspended over a precipice. Nearby, the Botanical Garden Kotišina provides a rugged look at endemic flora, while the evening atmosphere thrives at Deep Makarska, a lounge literally carved into a seaside cave.
