6. Makarska Riviera
The Makarska Riviera is often a top tip for families looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. There's a number of resorts on the Riviera, varying in size and its combination of well-priced hotels, reasonable local amenities (though no nightt-long clubs here!) and good pebble beaches means you'll often find parent-and-kid brigade here.
There's not a whole lot of sightseeing to be done, so if you're after a sea and sun holiday with the little ones, the Riviera is a good choice. The largest resort is Makarska itself, others include the more serene and smaller Brela and the very popular Baska Voda.
Makarska is about 1 hour 15 minutes away from Split so it an its surrounding resorts are easy to reach. There's also a ferry to the island of Brac for those that want to try something a little different for a day or two.
Finally, you can't escape to notice Biokovo Mountain behind the Riviera - for the slightly more adventurous, there's plenty of hiking opportunities. For those that like to take it a bit easier - but still like their views (which can stretch across to Italy on clear days!) - a road takes you up most of the way. |
