Imotski Blue and Red Lakes
For a unique experience of the beautiful karst terrain phenomenon, visit the Red and Blue Lakes. The lakes are situated close to Imotski and their names come from the colours of the water when reflected according to the configuration of the land. When speaking about these lakes, nature was really lavish with her variations, and so this location is a really interesting place to visit.
Baćinska Lakes
A real feeling for nature lovers and sport fishermen. The lakes are freshwater, and there are several, 7 kilometres from Ploče. Around the lakes stretch meadows and noble poplar which are reflected in the clear lake eyes. The landscape is characteristic for its rich watery vegetation and small beaches which invite a complete liberation and enjoyment of a union with the open hand of nature. Baćinska Lakes are about 20 or so kilometres from Mala Duba.
Hvar
It will be difficult for you to be satisfied by just enjoying a view of the longest and sunniest Croatian island of Hvar. Board a small sail boat to the island. You are sure to enjoy it, because you will have no choice.
Mostar
Visit one of the most beautiful towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mostar, a town which took its name from the protected bridge (bridges) on the shores of the Neretva River. One of the authentic monuments of cultural heritage is the Old Bridge (Stari most) which is under the protection of UNESCO. This is also a symbol of the town which persevered in its resistance despite all the troubles which it passed through during history. From Mala Duba to Mostar, is 70 kilometres.
Pelješac
The Pelješac Peninsula for many things is peculiar. In spite of commercial and urban development its natural beauty resists its recognisable expression. The originality of the Pelješac Peninsula at first glance is recognisable from the wine-rich sandy vineyards whose tough grapes are found in bottles of famed red wines which can be only found in this area and in the traces of the traditions nourished by old Romans. From here also comes the solution to an enigma why do red wines such as Dingač or Postup have such a unique taste, nose, colour and bouquet? In every drop of wine which is raised in a crystal glass in the most solemn and intimate occasions, is reflected the Pelješac sun, the salt which means life and the poor land which with the arduous work of the valuable winegrowers brings its abundance, honour and recognition to the world. Let yourself up to southern hospitality and a glass of unique, famed wine from Pelješac. Because the truth is really in this wine!
Ston
Located on a narrow isthmus which connects Pelješac with the mainland, Ston along with the usual tourist attractions is especially noted for its rich seafood which is given to man to collect them from the sea and to enjoy hedonistic tastes of shells, crabs and other sea specialities. Here nature abundantly offers itself to man giving him all the benefits on a plate due to which the taste is never equalled. Call in Ston and enjoy in a celebration of seafood tastes. You deserve it!
Makarska Riviera
The Makarska Riviera is correctly considered as being the most beautiful part of the Adriatic coast. It is not a miracle that due to this fact it received a name associated to the fashionable French Cote d'Azur. Arguments for this kind of status are easy to find. It is more difficult is to mention all the attributes for this coastal beauty along some hundred kilometres and not to miss some of them. Makarska Riviera is simply a realisation of God's intention to give a vision of paradise luxury to an earthly area and we are obliged to speak about it only in superlatives. Like an expensive, carefully made unique pearl necklace, there is the dazzling town of Makarska worthy of this position; during the day due to kaleidoscopic colouring of shades created by the sun, blue, green and sea and during the night due to the illuminating effect of the light of a stage this town lives and performs. A domino effect continues unstoppable through the whole line of the Makarska Riviera where picturesque and lively tourist destinations are set in harmonious combination with rural and urban architecture, in harmony with history and the present woven through tradition with a visionary view to the future: Tučepi, Podgora, Živogošće, Igrane, Brela, Baška Voda, Drvenik… over which the mountain of Biokovo carefully and protectively watches, rising superiorly above the sea with an everlasting dreamy view to the islands in the distance. And at only 20 km from Makarska we are waiting for you in an oasis of beauty; in Mala Duba with a great natural potential which will give you escape as well as challenges for all your tourist demands. We are waiting for you proudly and with responsibility.
