Baška Voda
BAŠKA VODA
As one of the most stunning stretches of coastline along the Adriatic Sea, the Makarska Riviera is characterized by long white pebble beaches, and lush pine and olive woods that lie between the azure blue sea and the dramatic Mount Biokovo mountain range.
Beauties of the landscape under Biokovo and tameness of its littoral attract many foreign visitors, thus facilitating the development of many resorts, one of which is undoubtedly Baška Voda. Long hours of uninterrupted sunshine, warm crystal clear water and a gently sloping shoreline make it a perfect destination for family holidays.
Baška Voda is a typical Dalmatian coastal village, nestled around a small harbour from where fishing boats offer trips to the nearby islands. The village itself is a small gathering of family houses, apartments and hotels plus the added facilities of bars, restaurants and small souvenir shops.
Behind Baška Voda, Biokovo is the highest coastal mountain on the Adriatic (St. George, 1762 m), it descends toward the sea in very steep and bare limestone rocks, under which is a narrow and green littoral belt. From its cliffs the central Dalmatian islands and entire Dalmatian coast, as well as the hinterland with many villages, are in plan - and fantastic - view.
