Heading south toward the coast, the historic city of Makarska is approximately fifty kilometres away, offering pebble beaches, waterfront restaurants, and lively summer markets along its famous Riva promenade. The UNESCO-listed city of Split, with its extraordinary Diocletian’s Palace, lies around ninety minutes by car and makes a rewarding full-day excursion.
