Frequently asked questions
About Makarska
Makarska is a picturesque coastal town located in the southern part of Croatia, along the Adriatic Sea. The town is known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and majestic Biokovo mountain range. The official currency used in Makarska is the Croatian Kuna. Visitors can enjoy exploring the charming old town with its historic architecture, vibrant markets, and lively waterfront promenade lined with cafes and restaurants.
When to visit
The best time to visit Makarska is during the summer months from June to August when the weather is warm and perfect for beach activities. However, the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and fall (September to October) also offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds. Winter (November to March) is the off-peak season with cooler temperatures and some establishments closed for the season.
Getting around
Getting around Makarska is easy as the town is compact and walkable. Visitors can explore the town on foot or rent bicycles to get around. Public buses are also available for traveling to nearby attractions or towns. Taxis are another convenient option for getting around Makarska, especially for longer distances or late-night travels.
Traveller tips
Make sure to pack sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the strong Mediterranean sun. Try the local seafood dishes at the waterfront restaurants for a taste of authentic Croatian cuisine. Don't forget to bring comfortable walking shoes for exploring the cobblestone streets of the old town. Exchange some currency to Croatian Kuna upon arrival for easier transactions. Be respectful of the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting religious sites.
