Traveller notes on Makarska in July
Notes from nearby Korčula (39 km away)
Makarska doesn't have its own notes for July yet — these are about Korčula, close enough to share the season.
Korčula's forum calls July good swimming weather but the busiest stretch of the year — several regulars suggest September instead for a quieter island that's still warm enough to swim and sit out in the evening. Worth weighing if crowds matter more to you than guaranteed heat.
