Biokovo Mountain overlooking the city of Makarska and its surroundings is a scary and awesome thing. Of course, apart from a few scattered villages, there’s not much life there nowadays. But, gradually, people have started renovating old stone houses and farms and opening up to tourism and organic farming. The owner of the lo-fi family farm Sv. Petar in Strnj can brag around how his ancestors were in tourism long time ago, before anyone else. Believe it or not, in the old days when the only direct road between Dubrovnik and Split went across this mighty mountain, one of the stops on this long route was at his house, because his grandpa ran an inn.
It’s the same place where today you can sit down, taste some homemade wine, olive oil, brandy or cheese. Or just stop by and buy their very good olive tapenade. And you’ll see grandpa’s official license for the inn, dating back to 1926, proudly hung on the wall.
If you’re spending your summer in villages nearby, not just passing by, some other dishes (under peka!) can be arranged with the owner Gradimir, Grado for friends.
Sounds like a nice enough roadside inn. That title’s a bit unfortunate, though. (Not hatin’, just sayin’
)
why do you think it’s unfortunate? I’m trying to read between the lines, I just don’t see it
Oh, come on. I know my sense of humour is pretty lame, but, surely, explaining the joke would just be too much even for my utterly cringeworthy standards
. That’s me off then

We got the joke in the end (took us long enough!). But we’re leaving it that way
You never know what to expect in those areas 
Haha, my thoughts exactly when I saw that ghoulish tache behind the counter and that dodgy-looking jar
. Do leave the title as is: that way at least they can’t say you didn’t warn them 
hehehe
survivors-wanted!
