These lakes are a perfect place to relax, read that holiday book or simply take in the surrounding beauty. And of course it is a great place to swim and cool off.
There is a 10 km path that runs around the lakes and is suitable for both walkers and cyclists. If you would rather take in the scenery from the water, take the opportunity to go on one of the private boat trips. This tranquil experience takes place on one of the local Croatian boats, called a Lada.
The Makarska Riviera stretches 60km between the towns of Brela and Gradac. In between each one you will discover lots of other beautiful towns and bays dotted along the coastline. The main town of Makarska is a very popular destination for tourists.
It is a very scenic area, with beautiful beaches lined with pine trees that stretch sideways towards the sun. Set back from the beach you will find plenty of bars and eateries.
The harbour front is beautiful with lovely restaurant and bars lining the main street opposite. And the backdrop of Makarska is amazing, with the huge Biokova mountain range staring down at you. It is the second largest range in Croatia and its quite something.
All in all, we recommend Makarska for a good day out. We often take a trip up there in the morning and stop off on our return for a late lunch at one of our favourite beach restaurants, ADRIANA, in ZIVIGOSCE-BLATO.
This beautiful winery sits on top of the Slivno hills. It takes a bumpy 2km to get up there but, oh my, it is so worth the ride. The views took our breath away the very first time we visited and they still do, time and time again - even on the rainiest of days.
The staff are second to none. Very knowledgeable and very hospitable. We never cease to be amazed by the kindness shown to their guests. Hence why we take all our friends here.
Oh, and the wine is rather wonderful too.
