 Baska
voda is a well known tourist destination situated in the heart of
Dalmatia, at the foot of Biokovo mountain on the western part of

nature, long white pebble beaches, crystal clear and warm sea is what
makes this place popular destination. The locals are engaged in
tourism, fishing, and in vine, cherry and fig cultivation. The village

previous settlements and Bisantian fortress. Aside for those dig
places there is the church of St. Lawrence (from 1750) and St.
Nicholas (from 1889) – two beautiful examples of Dalmatian rural
archtecture, malakoloski and etnographic museum. The tourist offer is
abundant and diverse, the village can offer hotels, camps, villas,
private rooms and apartments, restaurants, caffes, ’konobas’ and pastry
shops. There are also different shops, a bank, an excange office, a
post office, an ambulance and a pharmacy. Sport and recreational
