Makarska, or the dream of luxury tourism
With its long pebble beach, the lighthouse of Saint Peter in Makarska offers breathtaking views of the Biokovomountain on one side and the islands of the south coast on the other side. Built in 1884 about 10 meters from the beach, the lighthouse is surrounded by a natural rock beach, perfectly positioned to get a great suntan. Makarska is one of the most renown touristic destinations on the Adriatic Sea: besides its beaches, this area offers cultural as well sportive programmes all year round, including the night! But Makarska, also means skiing: the Biokovo mountain, emerging from the sea, offers a spectacular view of the coast and hinterland. It’s on these slopes that the first ski station of Dalmatia will open shortly: snow cover as from 1000 metres and this until June! Quite something to offer the visitors of the Makarska coast; in just one day they can go skiing and go to the beach!
Croatia, is good for your health!
The Island and the town of Pag will soon enrich the touristic offer with a thalassotherapie and treatment with the remedial mud of Pag. In between two mud baths, you can take a stroll around the island, famous for its many artisanal products, like the famous lace work from Pag – a couple of centuries old tradition- and the sea salt which is extracted here in a traditional way. But the island is also known for the renowned olive grove in the town of Luna with its 80.000 wild olive trees. This is the only place in the Mediterranean basin where wild olive trees can still be found in their natural surroundings.
