A part of Seget Vranjica
Just a few kilometers west of Trogir you will find Seget Vranjica. This village has its own harbour and beaches. The picture below is taken in the eastern part of the harbour and it gives a wiev to the western part and the beach (seen to the left).

Tucepi by night
Tucepi is found on the Makarska riviera and it is one of several small towns on this beautiful part of the Croatian coastline. The picture seen below was taken two weeks ago (in May).
At this time of the year the temperatures are comfortable but you may have days with cloudy weather and rain.
The picture shows the sunset in Tucepi with the pebbled beach and the pine trees in the foreground.

Fortification in Omis
The infamous Croatian town of Omis is best known for its past as a base for pirates. All though this dramatic period was short and ended in the Middle Age we can still see remains of the fortifications used by pirates and others who controlled the town in the past.
The picture above shows the Romanesque fortress, built above the town in 13th century. It was named Mirabela (or Peovica) and was a hideout for the Omis pirates. When the pirates returned to Omis after an attack they used to escape by sailing upwards the river Cetina which is protected by steep mountains where fortifications were built (see map of Omis). Below you can see an other picture of the fortress.

St. Mark's church in Makarska
In Makarska in Croatia there are several churches, and the one shown in this post is found in the Main Square.
The tower of St. Mark's church can be seen from the harbour and it is found next to the fruit market in the town.
To the right on the picture above you see a statue in front of the church. This is one of the main attractions in Makarska. The statue of the friar Andrija Kačić Miošić is made by the famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Rendić. The church - also referred to as a cathedral - was built in the 17th century.
