Easily accessible by ferry from Split, Brač is an ideal destination for a weekend getaway in Croatia. If you’re looking for turquoise waters, authentic Dalmatian villages, and unspoiled natural surroundings, the island of Brač is the perfect choice.
Here’s a guide to help you make the most of your weekend on this beautiful Adriatic island:
Day 1: Discovering Brač
From Split, take a ferry to Supetar, the island’s main port. Upon arrival, enjoy a stroll along the palm-lined waterfront, surrounded by traditional white stone houses typical of the region.
Settle into a café in the center of Supetar before exploring the charming village streets. You’ll discover small churches, peaceful coves, and an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere.
For lunch, choose a traditional konoba and enjoy local specialties such as Brač lamb, grilled fish, or a fresh salad drizzled with locally produced olive oil.
In the afternoon, head to the famous Zlatni Rat beach near Bol. This white pebble spit, often considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia, changes shape depending on the wind and currents. Relax, swim in the crystal-clear waters, or try water sports such as windsurfing.
At the end of the day, stay in the village of Bol to admire the sunset over the Adriatic Sea.
In the evening, enjoy a seaside dinner in a calm and elegant atmosphere, accompanied by the gentle sound of the waves.
Day 2: Nature and Panoramic Views
Start your second day with a trip to Vidova Gora, the highest point of all the Adriatic islands. From the top, you’ll enjoy spectacular views over Zlatni Rat and the surrounding islands.
Next, explore the island’s interior, with its olive groves, vineyards, and traditional villages such as Škrip, the oldest settlement on Brač, rich in history. For lunch, choose a local farm-style restaurant and try peka, a traditional slow-cooked dish prepared under a bell-shaped lid, served with a glass of Dalmatian wine.
In the afternoon, discover more secluded coves around Milna or take a boat trip to explore the coastline and its translucent waters.
Before leaving the island, take time to purchase local products such as olive oil, wine, artisanal cheese, or souvenirs made from Brač’s famous white stone, known throughout Croatia.
