On the Makarska Coastline near Makarska lies the village of Gradac, which is also the southernmost tourist haven in Croatia. Gradac and its idyllic location along the Adriatic Sea, is a great spot for beach goers and water sports fanatics. Many accommodations for tourists are available all year round, including private apartments.
Gradac also gives its tourists a peek into its rich history, as historians have discovered ruins dating back to the 2nd and 3rd century Roman Empire. Some of the artifacts found here include ancient remains, baths, coins, and pillars. Sources claim that this Roman necropolis is one of the biggest discoveries in the history of Croatia.
There are a lot of activities in store for the adventurous tourists of Gradac. Among them include river rafting along the Cetina, which is a large river connecting most areas of the Makarska, and also hiking tours along the mountain range of Biokovo. As the second highest range in Croatia, Biokovo near Gradac is also home to protected plant and animal species.
The Neretva Valley, which is also near Gradac, gives good photo opportunities for visitors who want to learn more about Mediterranean history, as there are remains of the wetlands which were significant in the development of many civilizations in the region.
