Hidden Gems of the Makarska Riviera

Less-Known Places Worth Visiting

While most tourists flock to the main beaches of Makarska, the true gems are hidden just a few kilometers away. If you are looking for peace, authenticity, and unspoiled nature, set out to explore and discover the less-known places that preserve the spirit of Dalmatia. Here is a list of some of our favorites worth visiting.

Podpeć Tučepi

1. Tučepi – Beyond the Long Beach

Although Tučepi is known for its long pebble beach, few people know that picturesque old villages are located just above the town. Take a walk to Upper Tučepi and feel the spirit of times past. The paths lead you through olive groves to old stone houses and beautiful viewpoints from which you can see the entire archipelago. This is the perfect place for a gentle hike and a relaxing afternoon.

Igrane Croatia

2. Igrane – A Stone Oasis of Peace

This small fishing village is located on a peninsula and offers a complete contrast to the crowds. Igrane boasts a quiet harbor and old stone houses, dominated by a church bell tower. In the nearby coves, you will find hidden, wild beaches ideal for those seeking privacy and crystal-clear waters.

Podgora Croatia

3. Podgora – Where the Mountain Meets the Sea

Podgora is a place that perfectly connects Mount Biokovo with the sea. While the waterfront is lively, you only need to go uphill to discover traditional Dalmatian houses, narrow streets, and small churches. Visit the "Seagull's Wing" monument for an impressive view of the entire Riviera, and then explore some of the smaller coves that stretch south.

Promajna Makarska riviera

4. Promajna – Ideal for a Quiet Family Holiday

If you are traveling with your family and looking for a quieter alternative, Promajna is a perfect choice. With its slow pace and relaxed atmosphere, this place provides a perfect escape from everyday life. The beach is spacious and safe for children, and in the surroundings, you will find numerous walking trails through the pine forest.

Drašnice Makarska riviera

5. Drašnice – An Authentic Experience

For those who seek a truly authentic Dalmatian experience, Drašnice is the right choice. This small village with a beautiful harbor and pebble beaches, far from mass tourism, offers peace and quiet. Enjoy freshly prepared fish in one of the local taverns and talk with the locals.

Of course, all these "gems" are just a short drive from your accommodation in Makarska. After a day of exploring, Makarska Holiday Home awaits you as the perfect base for relaxation and enjoyment.
