Zaostrog is a tourist place and port along the Adriatic Sea in southern Dalmatia, Croatia. It is located between Makarska and Ploche. It consists of two parts, the older part below the steep limestone part of the Biokovo mountain range and the newer coastal belt. Zaostrog was first called "Ostrog" and was one of the larger cities of the Narentine pirates.The village is dominated by the more than half-millennium-old Franciscan monastery of St. Mary of the Assumption, which has an open-air museum, ethnological collection, gallery and a large archive with over 30,000 titles, including 400-year-old incanabula, which form a significant part of Dalmatian history.

I enjoyed my summer vacation relaxing in the beautiful beaches in this location. I loved that they were sheltered by huge trees and the beaches were easily accessible and affordable. I will visit again soon.

I got to understand that zaostrog was divided into two cool places that is older part that is below the steep limestone part and the newer coastal belt. it is an exciting thing to understand how the name zaostrog originated from "ostrog" and this was so educative to me. it is the best place to keep visiting now and then without getting bored.

I was able to collect some artistic and cultural objects in the museum which were of important to me on my research project. Being a believer of the word, i visited monastery of st. mary to learn more of its history. the large archive and pictures helped me gain more as part of my knowledge.

The monastery at this place was packed with technological collections. It was amazing as I went from one room to another just enjoying. I later went on to see other historical sights in this place.

The open air museum here was wonderful. It was not crowded hence giving me a chance to talk to the guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable. I learned new things from this museum and I was happy when I left.
