Makarska, Coastal resort town in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia
Located between the Biokovo mountain range and Adriatic Sea, Makarska extends along a natural harbor between the Osejava and St. Peter peninsulas.
The settlement began as a Greek colony named Macka in the 4th century BC, later becoming the Roman Muccurum before experiencing Ostrogoth and Venetian control.
The 15th-century Franciscan Monastery contains a museum displaying regional artifacts, while the waterfront promenade features Mediterranean architecture and local restaurants.
The town connects to Split Airport through regular bus services and offers numerous accommodations near its pebbly beaches and clear waters.
The Biokovo Natural Park provides hiking paths with different difficulty levels, allowing visitors to explore Mediterranean vegetation and mountain landscapes.
