Tučepi (pronounced Toochepee) is a small town and municipality in the Split-Dalmatia County of Croatia. It is located on the Adriatic coast of Dalmatia known as Makarska riviera, about 5 km southeast of Makarska, population 1,763 (2001). Until the earthquake of 1962, the majority of its inhabitants were living in hamlets at the foot of the mountain Biokovo. Now a popular tourist destination thanks to its glorious coastline, its opportunities for sports and its excellent accommodation, the settlement of Tucepi was first settled four thousand years ago by the Illyrians.
