The island of Brač is accessible by ferry from Split, with regular crossings during the tourist season. The journey takes around 50 minutes and already provides a foretaste of the Adriatic landscapes. Advance booking is recommended, especially in high season.
Hiring a vehicle on the island greatly facilitates exploration of the different beaches and surrounding villages. Distances are short, but some isolated coves require transport to reach them.
Local gastronomy deserves special attention with its specialities of grilled fish, Brač olive oil and Dalmatian wines. The konoba (traditional taverns) in the town centre offer authentic cuisine in a typical setting.
For watersports, several schools offer sailing, kitesurfing and windsurfing lessons suitable for all levels. Wind conditions, particularly favourable in the afternoon, make Bol an internationally recognised spot for these disciplines.
It is advisable to bring suitable footwear to explore pebble beaches and coastal paths. Snorkelling equipment will reveal the richness of the region’s crystal-clear seabed.
