Brac Island Holidays

A short 50 minute ferry ride from Split lies Croatia’s third largest Adriatic island, the lovely Brac (pronounced Bratj) boasting the highest peak of the Croatian islands, Vidova Gora at 778m. The largest town and main ferry port Supetar on the north coast features a crescent shaped harbour, cobblestoned streets and romantic squares, pjacete, with numerous restaurants and traditional taverns serving delicious cuisine, plus some good pine fringed beaches and various sports centres; all ensuring its popularity with visitors.

Day trips to other Dalmatian islands including Hvar and Vis can easily be arranged from Supetar. Just along the coast to the east is the charming fishing village of Postira with a selection of restaurants serving excellent fresh fish and tasty home made fare, as well as some secluded coves to discover plus the narrow, sandy beach and archaeological site at Lovrecina close by.

Picturesque and popular Bol, home to Croatia’s best known beach, the spectacular fine shingle Zlatni rat, or Golden Cape, sits just under the island’s highest mountain, Vidova Gora, and offers visitors numerous historical sights, a mild climate, a busy harbour promenade lined with a host of cafes, bars and restaurants, and for the active, mountain biking and fabulous walks in the surrounding hillside.
