Island of Brač | Croatia | Travel Guide

Brač is an island of culture and adventure. An island that is rightly considered one of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic. Brac is also the highest island in the Adriatic and from the 778 m high peak of VIDOVA GORA there is a beautiful panoramic view of Bol, Zlatni rat and all the central Dalmatian islands.
Bathed in the sun and turquoise sea, rich in traditional and modern events, and imbued with the scent of cypresses and pines, the island of Brac hides many magical places, beautiful beaches, authentic stories and countless experiences.
Visit the magical BLACA DESERT and experience the rich history in a stunning monastery carved in stone, which can be reached from several directions, but always only on foot.
DRAGON CAVE above the village of Murvica, is one of the most attractive historical locations of this stone island. The mystical monument of the desert life of Glagolitic priests from the 9th century is full of reliefs in the rocks and rich in motifs from ancient Slavic mythology.
At the foot of Vidova Gora, in beautiful BOL, enjoy the most attractive beach on the Adriatic - ZLATNI RAT, whose appearance changes depending on the tide. On the Glavica peninsula, in the shade of old pine trees, surrounded on three sides by the sea, there is a DOMINICAN MONASTERY. Open the door to history and see its beauty.
STONE CARVING SCHOOL IN PUČIŠĆE is really a place you must visit. This school has been operating for over 110 years and is one of the few in the world that teaches hand stone processing techniques.
The stone and Brač are inseparable from each other. You will best experience how their eternal love looks in reality in PUČIŠĆE, a place considered by many to be one of the most beautiful small towns in Europe, where 7 of the former 13 stone towers from the 15th century stand out.
Or in SELCI, on the main town square, standing in front of the imposing CHURCH OF CHRIST THE KING, built entirely of Brač stone and rightly bears the epithet of Brač Cathedral.
You will learn best about the stone and the beginnings of its use in the time of the Roman emperors in the old Roman quarries above Splitska. The stone excavated in them was used to build the monumental Diocletian Palace in Split, and the undemanding hiking trail "Hercules" leads you to them from the center of beautiful Splitska.

After the quarry, be sure to stop by the magical Škrip, the oldest settlement on the island of Brač, founded in the time of the ancient Illyrians. The MUSEUM OF THE ISLAND OF BRAC and THE MUSEUM OF OLIVE OIL keep many untold stories for you there - about the island, its people and customs.
Today, Brac, with about a million olive trees, is the largest producer of OLIVE OIL in Croatia, and you must bring at least one bottle of this liquid island gold from it.
In the small magical place DOL, try the autochthonous cake HRAPOĆUŠA, a sweet gastronomic diamond of the island of Brač.
GAŽUL, a beautiful small shepherd's village located in the heart of Vidova Gora, in the original environment of a shepherd's apartment, will tell you a story about the primordial life on the island. The village is abandoned in winter, while in summer, by prior arrangement, you can taste traditional Brač dishes and the famous Brač specialty VITALAC.
On Brač you will definitely enjoy fresh fish and seafood, but know that the queen of Brač gastronomy is LAMB. It is widely known and recognized for its quality worldwide, it is served in most island taverns and restaurants.

Discover Rendić's bell tower in beautiful LOŽIŠĆE by bike, stop by SUTIVAN and SUTIVAN CATACOMBS, MIRJE, KOLOČ and the church of Saint Peter with a pine tree in the roof IN NEREŽIŠĆE. Discover the BASILICA OF ST. John in POVLJE, BRIDGE OF EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH, art gallery in DONJI HUMEC.
Discover hidden coves by kayak, sail into the twilight on a SUP board. Dive into the depths of Brač, enjoy surfing, morning walks and jogging by the sea, and meditate in those special places. If you decide to experience all this from the sea, Brac is waiting for you.
Facing the sunset lies MILNA, one of the safest ports on the Adriatic and the nautical center of the island. In recent decades, this keeper of the Split Gate has rightly become a favorite port for all sailors embarking on their sea adventure.
Nautical berths are waiting for you in SUTIVAN, POSTIRA, SUPETAR, PUČIŠĆA, SUMARTIN, BOL, and numerous hidden and peaceful bays throughout the island.
We left the beaches as sugar at the end of this Brač story for a reason. From the ZLATNI RAT, and the most special beach in the world, the magical MURVICA, PLANICA, FARSKA, SMRKA, ZORA… to LOVREČINA, the largest sandy beach on the island, this island really offers the turquoise blue sea.
Welcome to Brac, an island of culture and adventure.
