Biokovo Nature Park in the village of Zupa is one of Croatia’s most popular hiking destinations and is also home to the second highest mountain range in the country. Offering some of the most beautiful views in the whole of Dalmatia, if you’re holidaying in this area, you really must take advantage of some of the walking and cycling trails that are available
One of the best ways to enjoy this incredible landscape is by visiting the Skywalk; a see-through viewing platform 1228 metres above sea level that extends 12 metres out from the mountain side and give the illusion of floating in mid air – even some of the most hardcore thrillseekers have been known to grip the handrail when they look down!
Villa Raffo is situated just 20 minutes from the Makarska Riviera, so when you’ve had enough of basking in the sun, swimming in your own private pool, or hiking through the glorious Croatian countryside, why not head out and see what other delights this region has to offer. In the city of Makarska itself you’ll find open-air restaurants and cafes aplenty, as well as a daily market selling fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables…and you’ll be able to take a stroll along the harbour, and maybe even book a boat trip to the island of Hvar or to the famous Zlatni Rat beach on the island of Brac.
If you decide to keep your feet on the terra firma, you will find plenty to do here – Makarska has its own pebble beach, backed by fragrant pines and overlooking the glittering turquoise sea, as well as a promenade where you’ll find plenty more restaurants, cafes and ice-cream parlours. For those wanting to do more than just relax, stroll, and eat, there’s plenty of activities available such as banana boat rides, or jet-skis and paddle boats for hire. Makarska offers a chilled out vibe throughout the day and into the night, with places such as the Buba beach bar. Nestled in a quiet bay with its straw umbrellas and wooden sunbeds, you can enjoy a quiet morning here before the livelier afternoon rolls around with its DJ music and cocktails, and then gives way to after-dark concerts and electronic dance music.
