Breathing in the Good Vibes

Imagine a place where the air itself feels like a healing potion – that’s Baška Voda for you! Dr. Frari, a Venetian doctor from way back in 1840, said it best: it’s a spot where life and strength fill the air. Not too long ago, they even built a Children’s Village nearby to help folks with respiratory issues. The secret? A mix of the sea breeze, clean mountain air, and loads of Mediterranean herbs.

Once upon a time, people settled in this neck of the woods because of a handy freshwater source near the sea. Locals have been thriving on the goodness of ‘Basque water’ for centuries. The place is practically a water wonderland, with fountains paying tribute to this liquid gold. Even in the summer heat, you can spot streams of drinking water flowing into the sea along the waterfront.

Pearly white beaches kissed by waves have been doing the cha-cha with streams from Biokovo for thousands of years. Folks in Baška Voda have been working hard, too – planting pine trees in 1933 to create natural shade. Today, those beaches are a paradise for beach bums, thanks to the perfect combo of nature and a little human touch.

From Majestic Biokovo to Valley Views

Baška Voda owes its charm to the boss lady of the region – Biokovo Mountain. Biokovo gives us the gift of water, air, pebble beaches, and breathtaking views of the sky and sea. But, you’ve got to treat her with respect and visit when the weather’s chill, with an expert guide by your side.

Meet Gorica, the grand dame – a majestic white poplar that’s been around since 1910, thanks to the nearby water source. With a trunk wider than your imagination (630 centimeters!), it creates a cozy shade for tired travelers and locals alike. Perfect for a little rest and relaxation.

Get ready for a rock star in the form of Ključ Kuk – a high rock above Krvavica. Locals also affectionately call it Babin zub. It’s a natural marvel and a symbol of the place. You might even recognize it from a children’s drama series shot here.

Below Topić, there’s a valley that used to be a soccer field. It has since become a hotspot for nature lovers and “Game of Thrones” fans alike. We were there, soaking in the wonders of nature, and we can’t recommend Baška Voda enough. It’s a slice of heaven on Earth waiting to be explored. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
