Makarska for the Soul and Body: Wellness, Hiking, and Local Harvests in October

The Makarska Riviera is much more than a summer swimming destination. When the summer crowds recede, the Riviera reveals its calmer, more authentic face, perfect for recharging your batteries and enjoying an active holiday. Discover how to make the most of the shoulder season with wellness relaxation, unique excursions to Biokovo, and participation in traditional Dalmatian autumn activities.

The Mountains for the Body – Peace and Activity on Biokovo

Perfect Temperature for Trekking

The summer heat has passed, and autumn brings ideal temperatures for long walks and hiking. The air is fresh, and the views are crystal clear. Biokovo provides the perfect terrain.

       
  • Recommended Routes: Try easier trails that are ideal for average visitors, or embark on more challenging routes for experienced hikers.

Biokovo Skywalk without the Crowds

Visit the glass Skywalk viewpoint without the summer queues and noise. In the off-season, the peace and quiet of Biokovo allow you to fully soak in the spectacular views of the islands, the sea, and the coast, now painted in autumn tones.

Autumn Harvests – Tastes of Tradition

Olive Harvest: The Gold of Dalmatia

October and November are the months of the olive harvest. Participating in the picking or visiting an olive mill is one of the most authentic local experiences you can have.

       
  • Suggestion: Look for Family Farms (OPG) or small villages in the hinterland that offer visitors a chance to take part in the harvest or taste fresh, cold-pressed olive oil.

Trip to the Neretva Valley (Mandarin Harvest)

Just an hour's drive south of Makarska lies the Neretva Valley. Organize a day trip to "Croatian California" during the peak mandarin season.

       
  • Focus: Join organized "harvests for tourists" (self-picking), where you can pick mandarins yourself and enjoy the local cuisine of the Neretva.

Wellness for the Soul – Relaxation by the Sea

Wellness and Spa in the Off-Season

Since the sea is cooler, take advantage of indoor luxury. Many hotels in Makarska offer full-day spa packages that include pools, saunas, and Turkish baths.

       
  • Activities: Treat yourself to a massage, relax in a sauna, and recharge your energy before returning to colder climates.

Therapeutic Walks along the Coast

Forget the crowds. Now is the time for meditative and therapeutic walks along the long Makarska promenade and empty beaches. The silence and the sound of the waves are ideal for mental health.

       
  • Idea: Try "mindful walking" – a walk of conscious movement and breathing, focusing exclusively on nature and the present moment.

Conclusion

October and November are the ideal time to visit Makarska if you are looking for a perfect balance between activities, authentic experiences, and relaxation. The autumn Riviera is peaceful, active, and full of flavour.

Don't wait for the next summer. Book your autumn escape and discover Makarska in a completely new way!
