DESTINATION

This slim sliver of coastline packs a mighty punch. Backed by the stunning Biokovo mountain on one end and the sparkling sea on the other, the majestic Makarska Riviera has spectacular soft-pebble beaches, fishing villages of storybook beauty, dense pine forests, old-growth olive groves and scenic vineyards.

You know the feeling when you just can’t be bothered to do anything at all, when you’re too tired to even lift a finger? In Dalmatia, that feeling has a name: it’s called fjaka. A unique Dalmatian state of mind and body, often felt the most on summer days when it’s piping-hot out, fjaka is a sweet nothingness of sorts, a lethargy often used in Dalmatia as an excuse for chilling out.

You don’t want to miss the deliciousness of this sweet energy bomb, a traditional delicacy protected as cultural heritage of the Makarska region. A rich combo of almonds, eggs and sugar made according to a secret centuries-old recipe, the cake is served at weddings, holidays and festivities, cut into rhomb-shaped pieces.
