Heading from Split to Podgora on the Makarska Riviera? A reliable taxi Split service is the most direct and comfortable way to make this coastal journey — door pickup from your exact Split address, a fixed price for the 92.7 km route, and a professional driver who delivers you to your Podgora accommodation in approximately 1 hour 12 minutes. With Go Shuttle, you travel the full sweep of the Dalmatian coast south of Split without the hassle of buses, connections, or navigating unfamiliar roads with luggage — and arrive in one of the Riviera's most characterful resort towns ready to enjoy its celebrated beaches and views.
Podgora sits midway along the Makarska Riviera, directly south of Makarska and known for its distinctive layout — a narrow waterfront promenade, the famous twin-tailed monument on the headland, a long pebble beach with crystal-clear water, and the dramatic vertical face of the Biokovo massif rising directly behind the town. It's a proper Dalmatian resort with good restaurants, a lively summer atmosphere, and the kind of Adriatic scenery that makes the Riviera the most popular stretch of Croatian coastline. Go Shuttle connects Split to Podgora efficiently along the coastal highway.
Split to Podgora (town centre / beach)
The drive from Split to Podgora takes just over an hour and covers one of the most celebrated stretches of the Croatian Adriatic coast. Your driver picks you up from your exact Split address and heads south through Stobreč, where the sea comes into view within minutes as the city gives way to the coastal highway. The dramatic Omiš canyon passes — the Cetina river carving its way to the Adriatic beneath a pirate fortress — before the route enters the Riviera proper at Brela.
The Makarska Riviera unfolds in full — Baška Voda, then Makarska town itself with the extraordinary limestone wall of Biokovo rising immediately behind, and then the road continues south to Tučepi and finally Podgora. The arrival in Podgora offers one of the finest views on the entire Riviera — the long beach stretching along the bay, the twin-tailed mermaid monument on the rocky headland, and the Hvar island channel visible across the water. Your driver delivers you directly to your hotel, apartment, or accommodation address in the town.
💡 Local tip: Podgora's famous twin-tailed mermaid monument (Krakavica) on the headland above the town is a striking landmark visible from the sea. It was built as a memorial to the sailors of the Partisan navy in World War II and offers panoramic views over the entire bay. Worth a visit on your first evening in town. In peak summer, the Riviera road can add 15–25 minutes — your driver will plan departure accordingly.
