Delve into Brač’s rich history by visiting the enchanting town of Bol, characterized by its stone streets, medieval architecture, and the Dominican Monastery.
Don’t miss the chance to explore the ancient Blaca Hermitage, a monastic complex carved into the cliffs.
The best time to visit Brač depends on your preferences. If you enjoy warm weather, bustling beaches, and lively events, the summer months are ideal. For a more balanced experience with fewer crowds, consider visiting in the shoulder seasons of spring and early fall.
If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat and don’t mind cooler weather, the off-peak seasons of late fall and winter will be perfect for you.
We love to embrace the island’s authentic charm by exploring its quaint villages, like Pučišća, known for its white stone quarries and a renowned stonemasonry school where you can witness intricate stone carving techniques.
Getting to the beautiful island of Brač is a delightful journey that involves a combination of flights, ferries, and local transportation. The most common route is to fly to Split, Croatia’s second-largest city. From Split Airport, you can take a taxi to the Split Ferry Terminal which takes around 30 minutes. At the Split Ferry Terminal, catch a ferry to Supetar, the main port on the island of Brač. For a more personalized experience, rent a private boat or charter a yacht to reach Brač directly from Split.
Discover the island’s centuries-old olive groves, where you can taste locally produced olive oils. Indulge in the island’s culinary offerings, savouring delectable seafood, traditional peka dishes slow-cooked under a bell-like lid, and local wines that perfectly complement your meal.
For adventure seekers, Brač offers a plethora of activities – from windsurfing and kitesurfing to hiking and cycling trails that meander through fragrant pine forests and offer breathtaking views of the coastline.
Alternatively immerse yourself in the local culture by attending Brač’s vibrant summer festivals, where you can experience traditional music, dance, and art. The “Vanka regule” festival celebrates Brač’s unique dialect, offering a glimpse into the island’s linguistic heritage.
