Podgora

Tourist destination info Podgora

Podgora is a small place situated in the heart of Dalmatia, on the Makarska Riviera. Because of its favorable position, the place has been inhabited very early. It was first mentioned in 1571 in written records. The population has long been involved in fishing, marine and, more recently, tourism. Tourism started to develop in 1962 and became one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Dalmatia. Visit historical sites such as: tower on the Roscici hill (adapted for inhabitants over time), All Saints church (built in 1764), Chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (was built in 1804 by the Mrkusic family), Punta Podgore with the medieval cemetery and St.Tekla Church (significant to local fishermen as a place to which a lot of fish come with the sea tides). During the summer months, Podgora organizes numerous manifestations and festivities such as the fishing night, folklore evenings and many others. This place is a true paradise for those who wish to spend their vacation away from the summer crowds, surrounded by the Mediterranean vegetation, beautiful beaches and crystal clear water. Sports and active vacation fans can enjoy football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, cycling, hiking, diving, sailing and many more water activities.

      Porgora a quiet destination, is now suitable for families with children than for young people. We really liked the location, the food is incredibly good everywhere. We would have liked to be more clubs and entertainment, but overall it was a holiday exactly as we wanted.
      The Lack of clubs :)
