Other Transport Options from Split Airport to Makarska
While several transportation alternatives exist for reaching Makarska from Split Airport, each has significant limitations:
- Shared Shuttles: More economical but involve multiple stops at coastal towns along the Riviera, fixed schedules that may not match your flight times, and journey times up to 3 hours.
- Local Taxis: Available at the airport but with unpredictable metered pricing, often 50-80% more expensive than pre-booked transfers, especially during peak summer season.
- Public Bus: Requires taking a bus to Split main bus station, then waiting for a coastal bus to Makarska. Total journey can take 3-4 hours with transfers, highly impractical with luggage.
- Car Rental: Offers flexibility but requires navigating the busy coastal highway during summer traffic. Parking in central Makarska is extremely limited and expensive during peak season.
Our private taxi from Split Airport to Makarska eliminates these hassles with direct, comfortable, door-to-door service at a fixed price.
About Makarska
Makarska is the undisputed queen of the Croatian Riviera, a bustling coastal town that perfectly balances beach relaxation with vibrant nightlife and cultural attractions. The town's magnificent 2-kilometer main beach (Punta Rata has been voted one of the best beaches in Europe) is lined with pine trees providing natural shade, while the turquoise waters remain shallow for dozens of meters - perfect for families with children.
The harbor promenade (Riva) is the beating heart of Makarska, stretching along the waterfront with countless cafes, restaurants, and shops. In the evening, this palm-lined walkway transforms into a lively social hub where locals and tourists mingle. Behind the promenade lies the charming old town with narrow stone streets, historical buildings, and the 15th-century Franciscan monastery housing a fascinating shell museum.
Makarska's unique position at the foot of Mount Biokovo (1,762m) creates a spectacular backdrop and offers excellent hiking opportunities. The Biokovo Skywalk, perched at 1,228 meters, provides breathtaking 360-degree views of the Adriatic islands. The town also serves as an excellent base for boat trips to the islands of Brac and Hvar.
The journey from Split Airport follows the stunning Adriatic coastal highway, passing through the dramatic Omis canyon and offering views of Brac Island across the azure waters. Our experienced drivers can provide insider tips on the best beaches, restaurants, and hidden gems around Makarska.
