The character of the Riviera
◎This is an editorial region for journey planning, not an administrative boundary.
A narrow, luminous coast held between Biokovo and the sea.
Few Adriatic coasts are as immediately legible: white-pebble beaches, pine, compact seaside settlements and the steep presence of Biokovo. Its beauty is obvious; the better journey avoids peak congestion and gives the mountain equal status with the beach.
