Getting there

Walking

If you are in the center of Makarska, start at the main square (Trg Frankopana). From the square, head south towards the waterfront promenade (Obala kralja Tomislava). Walk along the promenade for about 600 meters until you reach the large beach area (Plaža). Continue walking along the beach until you see a path that leads up into the hills. This path will take you towards the botanical garden. Follow the signs or ask locals if you need assistance, as the path can be a bit steep. After about a 15-minute walk, you will arrive at the entrance to the Botanical Garden.

Public Transport (Bus)

From Makarska city center, walk to the main bus station located near the waterfront. Look for local buses heading towards the Biokovo Mountain area. Get on the bus and tell the driver you want to go to the Botanical Garden. The bus ride should take around 10-15 minutes. Once you get off, follow the signs indicating the Botanical Garden, which will be a short walk from the bus stop.
