A stone village, botanical garden and the Veliki Kaštel interpretation centre below Biokovo.
A short distance above Makarska, Kotišina changes the register. The botanical garden occupies rocky coastal slopes and is designed around native vegetation rather than formal ornamental planting. Nearby, Veliki Kaštel interprets the natural and cultural history of the area.
Visit in spring or early summer for the richest plant life, and combine the village with a wider Biokovo day rather than treating it as an isolated stop.

A first chapter in Makarska
Kotišina is a reminder that Makarska’s identity extends vertically — from harbour to village to mountain.
