Nice long beaches, a large amount of greenery, olive-groves and pine forests at the contact point between the sea and the mountain range, cultural and historical monuments, numerous hostels, restaurants, sports and recreational facilities – all this makes Makarska a particularly agreeable destination. Tourism has a years-long convention here ; the first hotel was built as early as 1914, and the Society for the Beautification of the town was founded in 1922.

Here you will find private accommodation homes in Makarska and Makarska Riviera. Houses offer great quality accommodation with convenient costs. That offer of accommodation you can see and come to be there. The majority of the homes have three stars accommodation quality.
