Food Scene
Kalalarga is the pedestrian area with many shops and restaurants - I really recommend a tavern of the same name Kalalarga which is at the beginning of the street, a minute away from my apartment. Brunches are highly recommended - for 50 kunas you can get a decent meal! You might not always get what's on the menu, because their offer changes daily depending on what fresh fish they get from the local fishermen. Book your table in advance!

Romana Cafe is an excellent place if you want to enjoy your coffee watching the world go by and indulge in an absolutely perfect selection of ice cream and cakes! Highly recommended! 5 stars! Try lemon cake, Makarana cake (our speciality); as for icecreams, they are all delicious although my favourites are sour cherry with yogurt and orange with cheese! With your morning coffee, try their marmalade and chocolate croissants!

Situated in Brela, this restaurant is a must! Food's out of this world and so is the view of the sea and the islands! If you're without a car, they have a minibus to pick you up and drop you off whenever suits you! Don't miss it! My favourite dish is the black risotto! And semifreddo for the dessert!

Without this great grey mountain rising steeply from the coast, the experience of being in Makarska would be much less of a thrill! You can drive up there ( be careful, the road is narrow and winding) but the best way is to enjoy a good long hike! A word of caution - prepare well, wear strong hiking boots (not flip-flops like me when I was 19) , take plenty of water, a hat and sunscreen and set off at sunrise. There are agencies that organize tours of the mountain - feel free to contact me for more information!

The focal point of the town with the statue of one of our greatest poets in the middle, the square serves as a stage for concerts in summer months.
The poet's name is Andrija Kačić Miošić - he was born in 1704. He was a monk but also a philosopher, a teacher as well as a poet who contributed much to the development of the modern Croatian language. All in all, a smashing bloke, you could say!

The fountain dates from the time when the Venetians occupied this coast - the period in history mainly responsible for the romantic Baroque appearance of the older parts of Makarska.

Just off the main beach there's a street market with stalls offering clothes, beachwear, souvenirs and much more. Also, there you can grab a quick lunch or snack in many small restaurants, have a coffee, cold drink or ice cream while spending the whole day on the beach.

A corner shop just a minute away from the apartment, down the street and to the right - you will see the sign DMD. Very near is the baker's Lipo & Friško, and another shop which sells delicious Dalmatian smoked ham - highly recommended!
