Makarska, the Greenest Old Town in Croatia: Yes, Really!

[@sticky431]

Great informative video. We're traveling to Makarska as part of our family holiday this summer and whilst I was beginning to feel a bit dubious by the fact that nobody I speak to in the UK has ever heard of the place, your video has not only put my mind at ease but made me really look forward to our visit! Thanks Paul!

Thanks Paul, great to see Makarska coming along in and with a much better strategy for the future. Both sides of my family emigrated from just up the hill in Zavojane and Stilja so I'm familiar with the recent "touristy" onslaught (which is needed of course) but always lamented the lack of usage of the stari grad. Congratulations on the insight!

It is really encouraging to see local administrations not afraid to tackle the big problems. There are a lot of issues to sort after years of uncontrolled construction, but I like the fact that a strategy is now in place and the big hotels are on board. Looking forward to seeing how things develop.

Me and my friends went there nearly every day during summer. There was a guy selling krofne at the beach. he shouted "kroooooo....fne" for 20 seconds, it was really funny. Maybe someone remember him ;) After it became so overcrowded I havent been there anymore. I will take a look next time when Im in this area again!

he doesn't sell krofne any more, but it was always so funny to hear him

Love your videos but your yellow flashing subtitles are nauseating.

the things you 'like' Paul are the very ones I don't....

Imagine a world where everyone liked the same things...

@@PaulBradbury yes that would be horrible but sometimes it seems that is what the EU is trying to establish. Joining the EU and the euro was a terrible idea. imo of course.

​@stevefrompolaca2403 leaving the EU hasn't done much either as your politicians are corrupt to the bone.
