Holidays To Podgora, Croatia

A small village located 84 miles north of Dubrovnik, Podgora has a population of just over 1,500 and remained a quiet fishing village until the 1960s, even though the first hotel 'Praha' opened in 1922. Today, Podgora offers a modern and tranquil tourist resort in its relaxing and clean seaside setting. Podgora sits beautifully between the azure Adriatic Sea and the mountain of Biokovo, and is facing some of Croatia's lush islands. Because of the mild Mediterranean climate, soft powdery beach and inviting sea, the most popular activities are water and beach based. Water skiing, surfing, scuba diving and various boat trips are offered between May - October when the sea is pleasantly warm. The Biokovo national park offers a range of activities away from the beach and sea including mountain biking, hiking, parachuting and climbing.

The pretty little harbour and seaside promenade offer a romantic setting for an evening stroll along the Adriatic Sea. The village is well-known for its gastronomic delights, exotic plants and flowers with beautiful scent and high quality accommodation - combine all this with welcoming Croatian hospitality and you have found a winning formula for a relaxing holiday. For those looking for a little more activities, Makarska is located only 6 miles north from Podgora.
