Makarska is a city that belongs to Split-Dalmatian County. It is located south from Split, 90 km away (via E65 highway), and 150 km from Dubrovnik, via road D8.

If you start from the city center you should start from main church square. Walking through narrow streets, soon you will find yourself at Kačić square. You will take fabulous pictures of St. Mark's church with Bikovo mountain in the background. As the very best protector of the city, this mountain also represents one of the biggest national parks in Croatia. Don’t miss to come back at night also! Sit in some of the local bars, or just relax on the stairs leading to the church above the square and take a deep breath! Yes, this is magical, and no, you are not dreaming!

If you like hiking, south from town you can walk through Osejava park and reach next settlement, Tučepi with very popular beach, Slatina. Be careful, though, if you want to get down to the beaches along the way, because there are some slippery rocks.
