Tucepi Holiday Reviews

a lovely resort but a pebble beach,need beach shoes to swim.plenty of bars and restaurants along tree lined promenade and also gift shops.kept very clean

Tucepi isn't somewhere to go if you want a busy nightlife, wall-to-wall British bars showing Eastenders and drunken bar crawls (thankfully). It's not over-developed and has a quiet charm; there were as many Croatian holiday makers there as there were from the UK, Germany, etc, which is a good sign. With the Biokovo mountain range towering behind the resort and the crystal clear sea washing the pebbled beach, that runs the length of the resort, it is an idyllic location. There isn't a lot of choice if you want to eat out, as most of the small restaurants offer a limited and similar selection. If you want choice, eat at the hotel, as the food there is excellent. The hotel also has an arrangement where you can swap a meal in the hotel for a 6 course meal at a very nice local restaurant on one night - I can recommend it as the food there was great.

From Tucepi you can walk round the coast to the neighbouring resort of Podgora (about 30 mins) or up to Makarska (about an hour I think), if you're feeling more adventurous. You can also walk up into the mountains behind the resort. If you hire a car you can drive to Dubrovnik in a couple of hours or Mostar in Bosnia (alternatively there are plenty of arranged trips if you don't fancy driving).

The beach, like most on the Dalmation coast, is pebbled rather than sand and, like the rest of the resort, it is very clean. There are watersports available but these aren't instrusive if you just want to relax on the beach.

In summary, Tucepi is an unspoiled small resort and an ideal place to relax in beautiful surroundings. It's not somewhere to go for lively nights out but unless that's what you're looking for you won't be disappointed.
