Medici: Coves, Beaches and Townscape

Medici is one of the smaller coastal towns on the Omiš Riviera. The town’s defining features include numerous coves and beaches, a dive site at the wreck of the Metković, and an old townscape. This makes Medici a destination to consider for a range of interests.

Beaches and coves

Some of the most beautiful beaches on the Omiš Riviera are in Medici. Beneath the pine and tamarisk trees, you’ll find quiet, shady spots to relax by the crystal-clear sea. Numerous smaller coves invite you to swim and relax on the beach.

The coves and shady spots offer different ways to enjoy the sea: swimming takes center stage in the coves, while the areas beneath the pines and tamarisks are ideal for a peaceful stay. Together, they combine active time in the water with relaxation on the shore. If you’re choosing between swimming and a quiet day at the beach, these features highlight two sides of the coastal experience.

Diving at the wreck of the Metković

The wreck of the Metković is a dive site in Medici; the ship sank in 1965. In the area of Lokva Rogoznica (Medići), the wreck lies on a sandy seabed at a depth of 3 to 15 metres. Visibility is usually very good, though it can vary depending on conditions.

The historical context and underwater environment are two distinct aspects: the year marks the sinking of the Metković, while the sandy seabed and depth range describe the character of the dive site. Visibility adds another feature that depends on conditions. The site thus combines a historical context with specific details about its underwater location.

Alleys, stone houses and culture

Narrow alleys and old stone houses evoke the spirit of times gone by. The alleys shape the townscape, while the stone houses make its historic character visible. Medici’s architecture offers a distinctive feature alongside the coast and dive site.

Art colonies inspired by the landscape take place in Medici. The landscape is therefore not only part of the coastline but also a source of inspiration for cultural work. Experienced local fishers are also part of the town’s cultural character. The built townscape, the landscape as inspiration, and the connection with local fishers are distinct cultural facets of Medici.

A guide to finding a hotel

Medici also has several restaurants and shops. They add practical amenities for visitors to the town. When searching for hotels in Medici, you can match the destination’s features to your travel plans. To start, consider whether you want to combine a coastal stay with swimming and relaxing on the beach, or make the dive site at the wreck a particular focus. The town’s historical and cultural connections add another dimension to its coastal character.
