Excursions
A number of one-day trips connecting Podgora with other Dalmatian destinations offer an opportunity to explore the broader area.

 

The trips range from the ancient heart of Dalmatia, Split, with its ancient and medieval town core built around the Place of Roman Emperor Diocletian, through word famed Dubrovnik to the islands of Brac and Hvar, the Adriatic princes, centres of Croatian literacy and culture.

An extraordinary blend of Mediterranean and Oriental culture can be felt in Mostar. The heritage typical of the Dalmatian hinterland can be explored in Imotski, situated above two lakes.

Makarska, the centre of the riviera and coastal area, is a natural choice, with its town square, Cathedral of St. Mark, but above all because of the Franciscan Monastery and its rich collections. Daily fish picnics, the feasts of the sea, are complemented with excursions to Omis and Radmanove Mlinice, a scenic site down the Cetina river, that offer one yet another opportunity to enjoy the unforgettable beauty of Nature and extraordinary gastronomic delights.
