Tucepi Holidays

Holidays to Tucepi let you be as relaxed or active as you like. Laze on postcard-worthy beaches, windsurf around nearby islands, or hike Mount Biokovo.

Small but perfectly formed

A one-hour drive south of Split is where you’ll find the teeny town of Tucepi. Nuzzled into the Croatian coastline, it’s a place that has good looks on its side – expect a highly-polished pebble beach, backed by pine trees, traditional restaurants and cosy cafés. Inland, meanwhile, hiking trails weave through hillside villages, historic settlements, and untouched countryside.

Island hopping

The town of Makarska – 10 minutes down the road – is the launching point for ferry rides out to Brac, Croatia’s third-largest island. It’s not only a windsurfer’s paradise, thanks to the constant, balmy breeze, but is also home to Zlatni Rat Beach. Long, narrow and shaped like a shark’s fin, this sandy strip features in almost every travel brochure about Croatia.

River rafting

The Cetina River draws in just as many crowds as the local beaches. It’s easy to see why – the rushing turquoise waters are hemmed by dramatic limestone cliffs. It’s a popular spot for river rafting, and several companies organise rides through the rapids, many of which depart from nearby Makarska.
