If you come between May and September, then you won’t be able to miss swimming and sunbathing. Fortunately, Villa Ankora is practically on the beach, a mere 5-7 meters from it, so you won’t have to make those long trips just to go for a swim. The beach in Tučepi stretches as far as eye can see, along the entire resort town. There are facilities for scuba diving, jet-skiing, para-gliding, as well as rental services – from boats to bikes, motorcycles, to simple deck chairs.
