Promanja - Makarska Riveria
The Makarska Rivieria is one of the most beautiful parts of the Dalmatia.
There are numerous villages and quiet bays all along the Riviera that can be easily visited from Promajna, with Baska Voda and Brela 4km to the north and the main town of Makarska 6km to the south. I would recommend to anyone to take the scenic walk from Promajna to Baska Voda, with sea on one side of you and the giant mountains on the other it really is breathtaking. It is approx a 45min walk along a coast lined path, where you can either find yourself a private cove for sunbathing and swimming or carry on and maybe have a drink in one of the bars or restaurants while soaking up the amazing views. There is also a large Children's play park half way between the two villages. Makarska town is definitely another recommended place to visit and an enjoyable walk from Promajna. It again is approx 45min and just as scenic, taking you into the busy heart of the popular town.
Everything you need for your stay can be found on the beachfront, which is only a 4 minute walk from the apartments. There is a small supermarket and post office, fruit and vegetable stalls, and a bakers for fresh daily produce.
In the evening you can view the sunset from one of the several beach bars or restaurants that are open throughout the day until late.
It is possible to arrive at Promajna by public transport or taxi, but for convenience and to fully appreciate all the area has to offer we recommend the use of a hire car for the duration of your stay.
