Located on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, the Makarska Riviera welcomes its guests with breathtaking mountain and sea scenery, exciting holiday destinations and a wide range of sports and leisure activities.

Special features of camping on the Makarska Riviera

The Makarska Riviera is a section of the Croatian Adriatic coast in Dalmatia and stretches south of the cultural metropolis of Split. Here, mountains and sea come together to form a paradisiacal combination that attracts countless campers year after year.

Numerous campsites are located on the beautiful beaches and bays, which slope gently into the crystal-clear water. Beach holidaymakers are enchanted by the shimmering turquoise sea, which is just a pebble's throw away from their current pitch. Guests will find many water sports on offer here, such as kitesurfing and snorkelling.

Thanks to its excellent location - right by the sea but close to the mountains - the Makarska Riviera is also very popular with active holidaymakers. Hiking and cycling are also popular activities in this region.

Travelling

Travelling by caravan or motorhome from Germany to the Makarska Riviera is characterised by well-developed road networks and a pleasant route. Only in the high season, i.e. in the summer months of July and August, are traffic jams or other traffic obstructions more frequent.

The distance between the German city of Munich and the Makarska Riviera is around 1,000 kilometres. The route leads from Munich past Rosenheim to Salzburg and then via the A10 motorway towards Villach. From here, continue on the A11 motorway in Slovenia towards Ljubljana. The route continues towards Zadar and from here it is not far to the Mediterranean dream destination of Makarska Riviera.

The capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, is an ideal destination for a stopover. The university city is known for its extensive parks and green spaces as well as a picturesque old town centre with modern shops and shops. The numerous interesting museums, such as the National Museum of Slovenia, make a stay in Ljubljana a very special experience.

Destinations on the Makarska Riviera

When camping on the Makarska Riviera, guests are enchanted by many different, but all of them dreamlike coastal towns and islands that inspire with their Mediterranean beauty. Both the eponymous capital Makarska and the well-known islands of Brač and Hvar are particularly popular destinations on the Makarska Riviera.

Makarska

The harbour town of Makarska forms the centre of the Makarska Riviera and is famous for its beach promenade and vibrant nightlife. The town centre is located on a small bay between wooded headlands and is a popular postcard motif. To the east of Makarska rises the Biokovo mountain range, which offers ideal conditions for keen climbers and hikers. The picturesque backdrop of the crystal clear, emerald green sea and towering mountains makes a visit to the harbour town unforgettable.

Hvar

The Croatian holiday island of Hvar is not one of the favourite destinations of European campers for nothing. Tradition, sport and culture are combined here to ensure an eventful holiday for young and old. Divers will find many beautiful diving spots in the particularly clear sea. Boat trips to the Hell Islands, which promise hidden beaches and bays as well as excellent conditions for snorkellers who want to get to know the underwater world of the Adriatic, are also extremely popular.

Activities and excursions

The varied landscapes of the Makarska Riviera offer a wide range of leisure and sports activities. Whether snorkelling, sightseeing or exciting excursions in the surrounding area - guests experience an incomparable camping holiday on the Makarska Riviera.

Diving and snorkelling

The Makarska Riviera is extremely popular with divers. In the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, snorkellers and divers alike can discover a fascinating underwater world with colourful fish and coral reefs just waiting to be explored. At the diving centre on the coast, holidaymakers have the opportunity to take courses or hire high-quality equipment. Guided dives are also on offer.

Excursion to the city of Split

A lively atmosphere, remarkable architecture and excellent shopping opportunities: Split is the ultimate excursion destination. The city is located around 90 km by car from the Makarska Riviera and is known for its great beaches and the fortress-like Diocletian's Palace, which is located in the centre of Split and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ruin consists of numerous buildings and is home to a cathedral, many shops and hotels as well as typical Croatian bars and cafés that invite you to linger.

Gastronomy

Sun-ripened tomatoes, delicious seafood and homemade wine - Dalmatia is known for its delicious and light cuisine, which can also be found in the restaurants and taverns on the Makarska Riviera. Holidaymakers can look forward to unique Mediterranean dishes and culinary delights.

In the region, dishes are mainly prepared without heavy fats and with fresh ingredients. Fish and seafood in particular are among the region's specialities and can be found on almost every menu. Restaurant visitors are particularly impressed by the variety of Dalmatian cuisine. Whether it's squid risotto, a variety of seafood with homemade green tagliatelle or tenderly cooked meat - every camper will find something to their taste on the Makarska Riviera.

Best time to visit

The Mediterranean climate in Dalmatia makes for dry, hot summers and attracts sun worshippers from all over the world every year. Beach holidaymakers prefer the months of June, July, August and September, when the 30°C mark is often exceeded. Water temperatures of up to 27°C round off a beach holiday with the family. The winter months are sometimes rainy and are usually characterised by the cold fall wind Bora, which is one of the strongest in the world.

The months of May, June and October create the ideal conditions for active holidaymakers with milder temperatures. Culture lovers also prefer this time of year to marvel at the magnificent sights in the region in pleasant temperatures.
