29 km south of Makarska is a deep semi-circular bay with the village of Drvenik clustered at its head. The shore is dotted with coves and sandy bays. It's peaceful, friendly and the scenery is gorgeous – it's a great place for a peaceful holiday (and has free wifi internet too!). From here you can also hop on a ferry to Hvar island – it's best if you have some wheels so you can explore. Drvenik is overlooked by a hilltop fort and the 15th century church of St. George in the old hillside settlement.
