If you are looking for beach heaven in Dalmatia, head to the Makarska Riviera, a divine spot of endless sun worshipping spot. Lots of apartments have been built in recent years to meet that demand, and this is the main perception of Makarska.

But take a closer look and head into the old town, where something quite special is taking place, as efforts are not only underway, but succeeding, to regenerate the majestic old town, with a hint of artisan craftsmanship and greenery. A major surprise on my recent trip to the Dalmatian coast.
