Tučepi
Nowadays the village of Tučepi is recognized as a popular tourist destination in the guidebooks of modern Croatian and European travellers. Tučepi has been a settlement for four hundred years. To the west its boundaries touch the town of Makarska, the only urban centre of the area called the Makarsko primorje in Croatian i.e. the Makarska Coastland or, more popularly the Makarska Riviera. The imposing mountain of Biokovo represents the northern border of the village. The hamlets of Tučepi, Podpeć, Čovići, Srida sela, Šimići and Podstup, built in traditional Mediterranean style, are spread over a large area of coastal limestone slopes. Rich in natural water springs, the area abounds with terraced gardens, vineyards and olive-groves. The modern village of Tučepi situated in the south of the area along four kilometres of mild, cultivated pebbly shore, seeks its prosperity in tourism.
Tučepi and also the whole area of central Dalmatia are characterised by a very favourable climate. The temperature in January lies on an isotherm of between 7ºC and 8ºC, in an area with a distinctive Mediterranean climate; a mild, mostly moist, winter and a dry, hot and sunny summer.
