On the recommendation of the agent, we chose the quiet Croatian town of Brela for recreation. From the airfield in Split, along a good road, 60 km. along the coast, a delightful panorama. The town is located at the foot of an 800-meter gray mountain. We move along the serpentine from the mountain to the hotels. residents and only 4 hotels on the side. There are also villas and apartments. Along the coast there is a concrete embankment path (12 km. ), Where the whole resort life takes place. , swearing and other annoying sounds. Here you can have a bite to eat, drop into the only store, order any excursions around the country and by sea.
About the hotel: Maestral is the smallest hotel of 4 available. Floors 1 and 2 are reception, a lounge, a restaurant. Floors 3 and 4 are residential, quiet. At the entrance there is a fresh water pool, umbrellas, sunbeds. I liked the restaurant: always fresh pastries, various berry teas and other drinks, salads, side dishes, vegetables, mushrooms. We almost didn’t eat meat, we dabbled in fish, seafood, poultry. Cakes, ice cream, fresh and canned fruits. Every day we are like on a holiday I met a starched chef. It's nice! The rooms are ordinary, there is air conditioning, a safe, a balcony with a table and chairs. The partitions between the balconies are light, if noisy neighbors come across, they will not let you sleep.
About the beach: 65 steps down and you are by the sea. White pebbles, small on it it is convenient to enter the sea. The sea is the most transparent, except for cheerful simmatic fish, no one and nothing swims. Those who do not like to walk on pebbles can buy slippers, they are sold everywhere. From a concrete path to water 10-15m. space. You can take a sunbed for 20 kunas (about 3 euros), they will bring it to you right away where you order. There are benches and showers along the path.

Entertainment: walking along the same path in both directions. You walk, look at the vegetation, villas, apartments, restaurants you select for lunch. The food is hot everywhere, very tasty and different. Look, it's time to drink coffee. Coffee is different everywhere, sometimes very tasty. It's nice to sit with a cup in the port and watch how sailboats and yachts are moored (well, very expensive, well, very beautiful). We also sailed on a cheerful ship to the islands of Brac and Hvar. The ship was called "Bebe" (after all) music thundered on it, endlessly poured wine, ate fish without counting, got acquainted with foreign neighbors and, of course, filmed the surrounding beauties. Blue sea, colorful cities, gray mountains and clear air --- it's a delight!! ! Life is in full swing on the islands, there are many hotels, unusual beaches (for example, the Golden Horn), the famous tennis court, everywhere pines, pines, pines and the blue sea. We returned without remembering.
We took a taxi to Makarska, a very nice little town with an old historical center. Old cities in the Mediterranean are similar, differing only in area. No matter how many times we have watched them, we still want to get into them again. They have some sort of attraction. And in them, there is also all sorts of trade, all the pleasures and you can even settle in them for the night. Like this.
In the evening we walked again along the embankment. Near the Solin hotel, small shows were arranged every evening - national songs and dances in colorful costumes were sung and danced. Somehow, all this was not intrusive, joyfully and calmly happened. Then you go to the hotel and Croatian melodies are spinning in your head. Not everyone speaks Russian, but everyone understands it.
The weather smiled at us 27-30gr.
It was very comfortable and didn't feel hot.
Disadvantages: to the left of the building is the compressor room of the hotel, until you get used to it, it makes noise.
