Podgora lies in the heart of Dalmatia, under the slopes of Biokovo, adorned with fragrant Mediterranean herbs and plants, golden beaches and playful bays, on the purest spot on the coast of the world’s clearest sea – Makarska Riviera. This picturesque fishing town, a princess of the Croatian Adriatic will become an oasis of your holiday dreams.

Since antiquity, Podgora and its people lived off the sea and with the sea. Even today, the harmonious mountain hides the secrets of ancient villages, terraced vineyards, olive groves and pastures, and the sea has always allured generations of Podgora’s inhabitants, seafarers and fishermen.
