Drasnice is mentioned for the first time in a Turkish document in 1523, at the same time as a church of sv. Jure. The church is redesigned in baroque style in 18th century. It was also destroyed in a earthquake, and in its place a new one was built with many incorporated parts from the old church. The remains of material culture in the area of Drasnice have existed since 8000 years, when an our coast and in the whole Mediterranean area the culture of the New Stone Age or the Neolithic expanded. On this area you can trace the continuity of life and settlements dating back to prehistory. Today Drasnice have grown into a lovely place alongside the shore with a beautiful harbor.

Drasnice also offer water sport possibilities such as parasailing, waterskiing, jet-ski, rent-a-boat, etc. Beaches have small pebbles and are suitable also for small children.

Very often you will be able to see charming dolphins, what particularly makes children happy.

Makarska is a picturesque town of impressive beauty which lives off tourism and for tourism; a town of youth, culture, sports and entertainment. It was built around a natural port protected by the charming peninsula of Saint Peter and cape Osejava, and it is the biggest and only such port between the Cetina and Neretva estuaries. The town’s history is best discovered in the Franciscan Monastery as well as through the works of art kept in the sacral buildings of the Makarska Littoral and whose authors are famous Croatian painters originating from this region.

The Biokovo Mountain, a majestic gift of nature, emerges from the pearly sea. If you are craving for adventure and attractive sports challenges, Makarska offers an abundance of sports facilities (paragliding, mountain biking, descending into caves and water sports). The beautiful pebble beach stretches for 2 km along the entire town.

Numerous accommodation facilities with indoor and outdoor pools, including the medical rehabilitation centre “Biokovka” with the most up-to-date fitness centre and complete physical therapy, make Makarska the favourite tourist destination.
