Central Dalmatia <--- for more info click here


Cetina River Canyon - 100 km long Cetina River is Dalmatia's river with the most water and its mouth lies at the old town of Omis. Thanks to its waters, the river has formed a splendid canyon with waterfalls (Gubavica) and excursion areas, among which Radmanove mlinice, a place where excellent dishes are served, stands out.
Malacological Museum in Makarska - is located in the Franciscan monastery and houses the largest selection of shells and snails in the world, as well as a rare collection of fossils from the Mediterranean area.
Biokovo Botanical Garden - If you head from Makarska towards Zagora, you will reach a botanical garden that, besides autochthonous plants from the Biokovo area, houses several endemic plants, while there are large meadows of yellow narcissuses at several places within the park.
Crveno and Modro Lakes are hydrographic and geomorphologic natural phenomena in the Imotski region. In Modro lake (800 x 500 meters), bathing is allowed in summer, while its water level varies up to 70 meters. Neighboring Crveno lake resembles a giant well: it has a diameter of about 200 meters and a depth of about 500 meters and cannot be accessed, while the red color of the surrounding steep rocks make it a marvelous sight.
