Brela forms a part of the wider area of Dalmatia or
Southern Croatia which is rich in historical and cultural heritage as
well as in beauty spots. A number of one-day trips connecting Brela with
other Dalmatian destinations offer an opportunity to explore the broader
area. The trips range from the ancient heart of Dalmatia, Split,
with its ancient and medieval town core built around the Palace of the
Roman Emperor Diocletian, through world famed Dubrovnik to the
islands of Brac and Hvar, the Adriatic centres of Croatian
literacy and culture. Makarska, the centre of the riviera and
coastal area, is a natural choice, with its town square, Cathedral of
St. Mark, but above all because of the Franciscan Monastery and its rich
malacological collection. Daily fish picnics, feasts of the sea, are
complemented with excursions to Omis and Radmanove Mlinice,
a scenic site down Cetina river, that offer one yet another opportunity
to enjoy the unforgettable beauty of nature and extraordinary
gastronomic delights. An extraordinary blend of Mediterranean and
Oriental culture can be seen in Mostar. The heritage typical of
the Dalmatian hinterland can be explored in Imotski, situated
above two lakes.
