An Introduction to...
The Makarska Riviera & Split...
Arguably the most beautiful stretch of coast on the Adriatic, the seemingly endless sun-soaked white pebble beaches are fringed by centuries-old, sweet-scented pine and olive trees, providing nature's own sunshades. The sheer splendour of the Mount Biokovo range with its dazzling slopes, little villages of stone houses nestling at its feet, provides a perfect setting to the azure-blue sea which surrounds the sentinel islands of Brac and Hvar. This splendid holiday coast, lying between the two famous cities of Split and Dubrovnik, has a great deal to offer. The sea is warm, beautifully clear and slopes gently, making it ideal for children and non-swimmers.
1,700 years ago the Roman Emperor Diocletian built his first summer palace in Split, which is now listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The squares, restaurants and cafes bustle with activity. The city enjoys a gloriously sunny climate and the wide promenade is refreshed by a mild wind in the summer. This is a city of great culture and historical interest which successfully blends the old and the new. There is a wealth of leisure activities and Split serves as an ideal base for enjoyable tours and excursions of the Makarska Riviera and the wonderful islands of Brac and Hvar.
