Town of Bol : Anyone who travels to Brač will sooner or later end up in Bol. A small community with many sights.

We’ll take a closer look at the famous Dominican monastery beach in the next section.
Dragon Cave : The exciting nature of the island of Brač can be admired not only from above, but also from below. Immerse yourself in the fascinating underground world of the Dragon Cave. The cave is very hidden, a local guide is definitely recommended.
Hermitage Blaca Monastery : A monastery built into a cliff is something you don’t see every day. That’s why it’s worth hiking to the Hermitage Blaca, a truly breathtaking architectural masterpiece.

Zlatni Rat Beach (Golden Horn) : There is no beach on the island – or in all of Croatia – that is as unique as this one. The pebble beach, which tapers towards the south, attracts many visitors to the island every year to see this spectacle with their own eyes. The “Golden Horn” is also a fantastic beach, with great facilities, food and a child-friendly complex.
Beach Plaža Vela Luka : In the north of the island you will find the town of Supetar, which of course also offers some wonderful beaches for tourists. Vela Luka in the west of the town is the clear recommendation, with a large pebble beach, sand and firm ground. The many trees also offer plenty of shade on hot summer days.
Bistrica Beach : Right next door you will also discover the small settlement of Sutivan, which is also located directly on the sea and therefore offers wonderful bathing opportunities. Bistrica Beach is hardly crowded and is perfect for those who prefer a quieter place. The shallow entry is particularly suitable for families with children.
Zora Beach : This beautiful beach is located on the eastern tip of the island. It is close to the town of Sumartin, a cosy holiday resort on Brač. Here you can relax in peace and enjoy the turquoise blue water.
Even though the island of Brač has many great surprises in store, it is worth exploring the region around the island as well. From beautiful cities to natural spectacles, there is a lot to experience here.
Split : The city is not only the best starting point for a trip to the island, but should also be explored beyond it. Not only are there many shopping opportunities waiting for you here, but also historical buildings. Diocletian’s Palace is the absolute highlight of the whole thing. The Klis Fortress is interesting for all “Game of Thrones” fans and worth a look.
Mosor : If you haven’t had enough of hiking on Brač, you should definitely visit the mountains on the mainland. There are also wonderful hiking trails to discover here, which also offer a great view of the Kvarner Bay. Maybe you can even see the island of Brač from there?
Trogir : Trogir is the little sister of Split and is particularly impressive with its picturesque old town. Stroll through the alleys and be transported back in time.
Hvar Island : Just a boat ride away is the island of Hvar, which can be found south of Brač. Visit the town of the same name, look at the wonderful lavender fields or discover one of the many caves that dot the island. There is variety everywhere here too.
