Villas for rent in Makarska

The unusual town of Makarska is located in the vicinity of the peninsulas Osejava and St. Peter in Dalmatia. Here lies the cultural, economic and sports center of Croatia. Here you will find a picturesque harbor and moorings for luxury yachts. The beautiful waterfront promenade Marineta invites you for a walk directly on the sea. On the waterfront there are a lot of hotels, restaurants, bars, coffee houses and you can really enjoy the life, the summer and Croatia and let yourself be pampered by the way.

The climatic conditions of Makarska are extremely pleasant as the annual average temperature reaches more than 16 ° C. Thus, you can enjoy many activities throughout the year, without worrying too much about the weather.

Of course you can not only enjoy the rented beach villa with its own pool in Makarska, but also do a lot of sports activities and also admire many sights.

Getting to Makarska

Of course you can also reach Makarska from Germany by car. Depending on the direction of access (from Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Bosnia) you can get via Zagreb and the new motorway A1 or the Adriatic road to Makarska.

Of course, traveling by plane is easier and faster. The airports in Split and Dubrovnik are the closest. Dubrovnik is already about 165 km away from Makarska. Buses from Dubrovnik or Split leave every 30 minutes during peak season. Of course you can also rent a car.

Split Airport is 30 minutes away from Split Bus Station and is connected by minibus and taxi car.

From Split, it is just over 80 km to Makarska, taking the A1 motorway, and just over 60 km over the coastal road.

In principle, you just have to decide what is important to you – nice views or fast track cover.

What to Discover in Makarska

Makarska offers a lot of history, picturesque streets and buildings. An exploration through the old town is definitely worthwhile and should not be missed.

In the square Kačić Miošić, in the very center of the town, you will find the church of St. Mark’s. This square is located in the ancient district of Makarska with its narrow streets, which reminds a bit of a paved Mediterranean labyrinth.

The architecturally very interesting Franciscan Monastery is located in the southeastern district. The former wine cellar now serves as a shell museum, which is a bit idiosyncratic.

The main attraction of Makarska, however, are certainly the beaches that stretch all along the coast. They are considered the best beaches in Croatia and you can practice a lot of water sports here.

What to do in Makarska
