Accommodation in Municipality of Tučepi
The Municipality of Tučepi connects the coast of the Makarska Riviera with the Biokovo Mountains in the background. A four-kilometer pebble beach and moderate hiking trails give you different points of reference when considering which experiences suit your trip.
Tučepi at a glance
- Tučepi lies on the Makarska Riviera at the foot of the Biokovo Mountains.
- The pebble beach is 4 kilometers long and lined with pine trees that provide shade.
- Two described moderate hiking trails take 3 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours, respectively.
What can you do at the beach?
The pebble beach in Tučepi stretches for 4 kilometers; pine trees line it and provide shade. A path runs along the entire beach and is suitable for long walks and bike rides. This makes it possible to combine time by the sea with exercise on the path. The length of the beach and the path’s suitability for longer walks are two concrete points of reference for planning your day.
The location on the Makarska Riviera at the foot of the Biokovo Mountains is also a defining feature of the area: the coast and the mountains are both part of the landscape associated with Tučepi.
What hiking trails are available?
Two moderate trails with different destinations are described for hiking. One route from Tučepi/Srida sela goes via Sv. Kate, Mali vrv, and Badališće to Ravna Vlaška; it takes 4 hours. The other moderate trail, from Tučepi/Grubišići to Lađana, goes via Logršća Voda and Kolovrat and takes 3 hours 30 minutes.
The time estimates distinguish the two hikes by 30 minutes. The named intermediate points and destinations also differ: Ravna Vlaška is the destination of the longer of the two specified hikes, and Lađana is the destination of the shorter one. Both trails are rated moderate. Three marked and maintained paths also lead from the coast through centuries-old olive groves to the former village center of Srida sela. This lets you distinguish between a described hiking route and the marked paths through the olive groves when making your choice.
What cultural impressions define Tučepi?
The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1703 on the foundations of an older medieval church. It is located in the southeast of Tučepi, on a hill above the coast. Its location and construction history connect a specific place in the southeast with an older ecclesiastical history; the medieval church is understood as the predecessor building.
The Škrinjica ethnological collection presents a traditional home with old furniture and folk costumes in a traditional house. The collection also offers a tasting of homemade brandy and olive oil. Those interested in everyday culture and traditional clothing will find a different way to experience Tučepi here than on a beach walk or hike.
The harbor is also associated with a long maritime and fishing tradition. The “Tučepi Summer Evenings” program included cultural events and entertainment. The kKuTz Festival took place in the villages of Tučepi in summer; traditional fishermen’s evenings were held in the harbor.
What other activities are described?
