SVETI PETAR

Despre unitatea de cazare

The lighthouse is a stone, ground-floor building surrounded by a terrace. There is one five-bed apartment in the lighthouse. The peninsula itself is a forest park. The town of Makarska is one of the best known tourist destinations on the Adriatic and, apart from its beaches, offers many sports activities. The vicinity of Makarska, with numerous places to go out to, makes this lighthouse an exclusive holiday destination.

Many visitors to Makarska often come to the lighthouse, meaning that, during high season, the lighthouse is not an ideal destination for those looking for peace and quiet, but for those who enjoy spending there holidays in a well-known tourist destination. We recommend to those traveling by car one-day trips to Biokovo and its highest peak Sv. Jure, where you can try paragliding and enjoy the most beautiful sunsets in this part of Europe. An asphalt road leads to Biokovo and there are road signs that will safely take you to a well-kept belvedere.

Plaje

The distance from the lighthouse terrace to the sea is 10 meters. There are several beaches with flat rocks suitable for suntanning in the vicinity of the lighthouse. When going from the lighthouse to Makarska, you will pass by one of the most beautiful pebble beaches on the Adriatic that has been awarded a Blue Flag. It is suitable for small children and the physically challenged, and offers numerous recreational activities and restaurants.

Sub apa

We do not recommend sports fishing in the surrounding underwaters during high season due to many swimmers, nevertheless spring and autumn are much better times for sports fishing. During summer, you can take part in diving courses (one of which takes place on the above mentioned Blue Flag beach). There are also interesting one-day diving tours that are organized from Makarska.
