Villa Pinet

Older part of Brist was located underneath the mountain Biokovo, but it was abandoned in 19th century, and a new one was built alongside the coast. The area was inhabited in prehistoric times, which is proved by the remains from the Bronze and Iron Iron Age.

The place is mentioned for the first time in 1571. In the old part is a decorated tombstone, ruins of baroque church of sv. Margarita and a birthplace of poet Fr. Andrija Kačić Miočić (1704-1760).

In the new part lies the church of sv. Margarita built in 1870. and a church of st. Ante Padovanski from 1807.

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.
