Sometimes you venture out far to see something that can also be found very close to home. While on my way back home from visiting Trogir, I drove down this stretch of road of the Makarska Riviera which goes along the Adriatic Sea. I noticed some yachts in a small bay that had some crystal clear blue water. I parked the car and assembled my camera since it was already packed up. These views were in front of me...
The Makarska Riviera is a part of the Croatian coast of the Adriatic Sea, about 60 kilometers long and only several kilometers wide, squeezed under towering mountain Biokovo. Sunny climate and long pebbly beaches make this region a popular tourist destination.
The biggest places on Makarska Riviera are: Brela, Baska Voda, Promajna, Makarska, Tucepi, Podgora, Drasnice, Igrane, Drvenik, Zaostrog, Brist and Gradac.
I hope you enjoyed these sunny images from the sea. Have a great weekend ahead!
Glad you stopped your car as these views and the colour of the sea is stunning Mersad
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I just wanted to jump right into the sea.
DeleteBeautiful coastline Mersad & he water looks so clear. The bareness of the hills look a lot like the hills surrounding the town I grew up in on the West Coast of Tasmania.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them Tony and that they reminded you of the town where you grew up.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous and captivating place! Thanks so much for sharing, dear Mersad, and I hope your weekend will be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda!
DeleteBeautiful place. I was there two years ago spending two weeks in Basko Polje near Basco Voda.

Thank you for these pristine photos it's a sight I'll probably never see. The water is amazing, can you just imagine lounging on a yacht there for an afternoon (or a lifetime)?
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing all those yachts in the bay I certainly can! :)
DeleteI am so much intrigued by the dark blue color of the waters even if they are just near the shore. For us that means it suddenly gets very deep at the margin of the color difference. What about those clear patches without greens on the mountains, are they rocks?
ReplyDeleteYes those are rocks. This region is known for landscapes like those, called krš. It's not that the water gets deeper, it's about the water bed. Where the water is light blue the sea bed is white rocks, where it's dark blue the sea bed is covered with dark algae.
ReplyDeleteI know this place. These are stunning views... Blue sea, gray rocks and the green color of the vegetation ... It's one of the places "must see" in the Makarska Riviera.
ReplyDeleteWhile on a tour of The Makarska Riviera, tourists can have a good trip time. They can just park their cars or vehicles aside and enjoy wonderful moments out there.
