The leisure activities and sights on the island of Brač are varied and appeal to almost every holidaymaker. That’s why we take a close look at various offers so that you can put together the perfect trip.
Olive Oil Museum : Brač is an important olive oil production area, which is one of Croatia’s main exports. A visit to the museum is therefore a must, especially in such a fantastic location! There are not only tours in German, but also tastings so you can get a first-hand impression of the magical taste of the local products. An absolute dream for gourmets!
Vidova Gora Mountain : The island is known for its cold stones, which can be found all along the landscape. The white stands in stark contrast to the lush green vegetation and the blue sky. Hiking up Vidova Gora Mountain is one of the best ways to see this natural spectacle from a great angle. You can either hike the 2.5 hours to the top or drive by car.
Town of Bol : Anyone who travels to Brač will sooner or later end up in Bol. A small community with many sights. Be sure to stop by the Dominican monastery or stroll through the old town and soak up the Mediterranean atmosphere. We’ll take a closer look at the famous Dominican monastery beach in the next section.
There is definitely no shortage of beaches on the island of Brač! You will find small and large beaches everywhere where you can enjoy the warm rays of sunshine.
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 also worth exploring the Dalmatia region around the island. From dreamy cities to natural spectacles, there’s plenty to do here.
Split: The big city is not only the best starting point for a trip to the island, but should also be explored away from it. Not only many shopping opportunities await you here, but also historic buildings. The Diocletian’s Palace is the absolute highlight of the whole thing. The fortress Klis 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 can convince above all with its picturesque old town . Stroll through the alleys and be transported back in time.
Island of Hvar: Just a boat tour away is the island of Hvar, which can be found south of Brač. Visit the town of the same name, check out the wonderful lavender fields, or discover one of the many caves that dot the island. Variety is also offered everywhere here.
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. With a German guide, you’ll also learn everything about the construction of the monastery and its history.
