Brela, the best known summer resort of the Makarska
littoral, is situated near the Adriatic highway, 14 km away from Makarska in the direction
of Split. It consists of several smaller places known for their developed tourist
facilities and attractive entertainment programmes. Its pebble beaches are a few
kilometres long and they extend themselves along the sea, which received, for its
cleanness, the blue flag - the international mark of high quality for

Makarska Riviera is a part of Dalmatian coast of Adriatic, about 60 kilometers long and
only several kilometers wide, squeezed under towering mountain Biokovo. Sunny climate
and long pebbly beaches make this region a popular tourist destination.
Brela, a town next to the sea is a municipality with 1770 inhabitants. Brela has become
one of the most exclusive and most wanted tourist destinations in Dalmatia during the
last few decades of the 20th century thanks to the attractive natural environment,
clean pebble and sand beaches, romantically arranged along a side where a promenade
swerves between pine trees and modernly comfortable hotels, guest houses, apartments,
boarding houses, catering and other modern tourist facilities.
The town of Berulia, mentioned also by Constantine Porphyrogenitus (10th c.), emerged
at this location. The present town developed in recent times by migration of the population
from small villages and hamlets under Biokovo Mountain. The parish church from the 19th
century was built on the location of an earlier Baroque church, next to the cemetery is
the mediaeval necropolis with eight tombstones adorned with reliefs. The church houses
several tombstones from the 18th century.
The history of Brela goes back for more than 2 millenniums. In this beautiful landscape

this Adriatic oasis was Silvan - Illyrian-Roman god of forests and pristine nature.
