Spomenik Sv. Petra, Makarska Travel Guide

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the Makarska Riva (the waterfront promenade), head east along the promenade. Continue walking until you reach the end of the promenade where you will find a small park area. From here, head up the hill via the pathway that leads towards the hilltop. Follow the signs that indicate the direction towards Spomenik Sv. Petra. The statue is located on a small hill overlooking the sea, so you will need to ascend a few steps. The entire walk should take approximately 15-20 minutes.

• Public Transport

  Makarska's public transportation primarily revolves around its bus system. From the Makarska bus station, which is less than 1 km away from the seafront, you can take a local bus towards the city center. Get off near the main square and walk towards the waterfront promenade. Then follow the promenade eastward until you reach the peninsula of St. Peter. Walk up the hill to reach the statue. A single bus fare within Makarska costs approximately €1 - €2. Keep in mind that buses can be crowded during peak tourist season.

• Taxi/Ride-share

  Taxis and ride-sharing services are available in Makarska. A short taxi ride from the Makarska bus station or the city center to the base of the St. Peter peninsula will cost approximately €5 - €10. From there, it's a short walk up the hill to the statue.

• Driving

  If driving, be aware that parking in Makarska can be challenging, especially during peak season. Parking is divided into zones (red, yellow, and blue), with varying hourly and daily rates. The red zone, closest to the center, costs €4 per hour in the summer. The yellow zone is €2 per hour, and the blue zone is €1 per hour. Look for parking lots outside the city center and walk to avoid the hassle of finding parking in crowded areas. Large full-service hotels like Valamar Meteor, Dalmacija by PLACES, or Aminess Khalani Beach Resort, provide parking for their guests.
