With almost twenty new photographs I tried once again to find an answer to an old question, is it a mountain or the sea, are the evergreens or people who inhabit this rigid therein on almost vertical slopes of Biokovo mountain and just above around 6km long beach, that bring us back among thousands upon thousands of tourist who daily fill close to 10.000 beds in private and hotel rooms throughout the summer.
Brela beach.
For many who come here from around the Europe, some as pilgrims every year for many decades now, this is the place where all of the problems of everyday life will disperse in the light breeze, with sounds of crickets and under the crystal clear waves of the Adriatic sea.

Someone may say “location, location, location” and that may be right as already described but we have to add to it Islands of Brac and Hvar (photos) who are daily provoking you to take a day trip with one of the organized tours (blue boat featured on one of our photos), then just south on the same beach, lively town of Baska Voda with it’s own charms and of course Makarska (all featured on our video) as the largest center on the riviera.
Just north from Brela is city of Omis and Split as the largest Dalmatian city dating back to the Roman empire with well preserved Diocletian’s Palace (photo gallery), charming people and restaurants for every taste. Split, beside being connect with rest of the Europe via modern highway (our video clip taped in 2005) and by air, also has direct ferry connection to many of Croatian islands as well as to Ancona on the other side of Adriatic, in Italy.

I just hope that you’ll enjoy it as we did during our, so far, four vacations in Brela!
Prekrasne slike, najljepse mjesto na svijetu!
