Brač
Brač
Brač is the biggest island in Dalmatia and the third largest in the Adriatic Sea. Located just a short ferry ride from Split, it offers a perfect blend of nature, history, and Mediterranean charm without the overwhelming crowds you might find on other Croatian islands.
The island is famous for its white limestone, which was used to build Diocletian's Palace in Split and even parts of the White House in Washington, D.C. The most iconic spot on the island is Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) beach near Bol - a unique V-shaped pebble beach that changes its shape depending on the wind and currents.
Brač's landscape is diverse, from coastal towns like Supetar and Bol to the highest peak on the Adriatic islands, Vidova Gora (778m). From this viewpoint, you can see neighboring islands and even Italy on clear days.
The locals have a strong connection to olive growing, with some trees believed to be over 1000 years old. The island's olive oil is highly regarded throughout Croatia. Beyond beaches and natural beauty, Brač offers charming villages with stone houses, narrow streets, and an authentic Croatian island lifestyle that hasn't been overly changed by tourism.
With its rich cultural heritage, stunning beaches, and rugged inland terrain, Brač represents Croatian island life at its most authentic.
