This cosy little town is in Croatia, Split-Dalmatia County. It lies on the slopes of Mount Biokovo, on the Makarska Riviera, just 9 kilometres from Makarska.
According to archaeological discoveries, Podgora was inhabited in ancient times due to its favourable geographical location. Written documents first mention it in 1571, when it was under Venetian protection. Tombstones survived from this period.
Focus shifted on tourism in 1992 when they built the first hotel in Podgora, called Praha. In 1962, an earthquake destroyed a large part of the town. Only parts of the foundation of the Church of St. Tekla survived. The locals then decided to move to the coastal areas of town. Their decision was influenced not only by the destruction but also by the growing potential in tourism. The locals are engaged in agriculture, viticulture, olive cultivation, seafaring and fishing. Tourism also plays an important role in the lives of local residents.
