Drašnice, Coastal village on Makarska Riviera, Croatia.
The settlement extends along the Adriatic coastline with pebble beaches at the base of Biokovo mountain, featuring traditional stone buildings throughout its territory.
Archaeological discoveries near Drašnice include Roman sarcophagi and medieval tombstones, while the first written record of the settlement dates from a Turkish document in 1523.
The settlement maintains two distinct areas, with the original village positioned at the hill's base and a newer coastal section called Kraj near Saint George Church.
Drašnice provides eight square meters of beach space per tourist, with accommodations positioned within walking distance from the Adriatic Sea.
The settlement's name originates from a local spiny shrub species common throughout the Dalmatian region, reflecting the natural vegetation of the area.
