Makarska

Our bus ride to Makarska was 3 hours of the most amazing vistas - at least that’s what I was told. Unfortunately, I get motion sickness so my eyes were shut most of the time, but every once in a while I cheated just long enough to see what everyone was oohing and aahing about.

I know, I know, I’ve said this before but I could definitely spend a long relaxing couple of months here. The Makarska Riviera is covered in both dirt trails and paved paths from the city center. The rugged, rocky coastline with pine trees on one side and the Adriatic Sea on the other is one of the most amazing sights to experience. The cliffs that hug the shoreline provide amazing vistas of the clearest blue/green water in addition to offshore islands. The city itself is small but there is plenty to do if you love nature. The people were wonderful, the food was delicious, the weather was great minus one day of incredible winds and our Airbnb host greeted us with a homemade meal which was totally unexpected but greatly appreciated. The city will get its share of tourist, but at least you can find solitude in nature.
