World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Croatia Travel Guide http://bit.ly/19HqlHp Shepherd Entertainment takes you on a tour of Makarska, which is the eponymous settlement of the Riviera and a holiday resort in beautiful surroundings. Makarska is the eponymous settlement of the Riviera. It's a holiday resort in beautiful surroundings. A luscious green palm boulevard runs along behind its mile long gravel beach. The horseshoe bay of the promenade is protectively embraced by the St. Peter and -- Peninsulas. The harbor is quite busy in high season as ferries to Brac Island depart from here. The high mountain behind the settlement, Biokovo gives protection to Makarska. The peak always cloaked in clouds prevents rainclouds from invading the territory exactly like the landmass protecting the French Riviera. The lush flora creating a southern atmosphere in the city is attributed to this. St. Mark Church from the 18th century stands on the main square. The building framed by green blooming trees stands on a hill wharfed by the high mountain in the background. Makarska was once the trading center of salt mines in Bosnia-Herzegovina. This activity ensured welfare and jobs for the dwellers of the town for centuries. The place of commerce was gradually taken over by tourism which today provides most of the income. On the harbor framed by flowers stands St. Philips Church. It was part of a group of monasteries where today an open air theater is in operation.
