Bol - island Brac

Tourist destination info Bol - island Brac

Bol is the oldest town on the shore of Brac. It is located in the central part of the southern side of the island, beneath the Bolska kruna and Vidova gora (the highest point of the island). Bol used to be the town of winegrowers, fishermen and seamen, while today it is distinctly a tourist destination. The town is first mentioned in the 12th century and the first inhabitants were Illyrians.  Bol holds numerous historical monuments worth visiting. See the beauties of the Dominican convent from the 1475 which contains a rich archeological collection, baroque summer residence, renaissance baroque palace within which there is an art gallery, parish churches and the convent in the Blaca desert. The town stretches for a few kilometers along the shoreline and is known for the crystal clear water and numerous beautiful beaches, the most popular of which is “Zlatni rat”. It is one of the most beautiful and biggest natural attractions on the Adriatic. It is said that it is the only one in the world which was formed in a way that spreads vertically towards the coast. It stretches for a half a kilometer into the sea clarity. Bathing here is a true experience. The coastal area which is overgrown in dense pine tree forest creates a special atmosphere. Sports and active vacation enthusiasts can enjoy tennis, windsurfing, swimming, jet-ski, parachuting, diving, handball, basketball, cycling, table tennis, beach volleyball and many other activities. You can savor the specialties of the island of Brac, as well as the Dalmatian cuisine in numerous restaurants and taverns. Visit the restaurants “Gust”, “Zlatni rat”, “Skalinada”, as well as the taverns “Vallum”, “Bretanide” and “Mali Raj” and enjoy their specialties.

Be sure to visit

Hvar is an ancient city with a rich history and the greatest number of sunny days. It faces the sunny South side of the world on the island of the same name. Its name comes from the Greek name for Hvar, “Pharos.” In the city you can view various historical monuments of which we recommend the Fortica fortress, the Hvar cathedral, city theatre and the Franciscan monastery. This city is the center of the island’s tourism and it is one of the most preferred and most visited destinations on the entire Adriatic. Its most attractive characteristics are a warm, sunny climate, various accommodation offerings, sports and recreation, natural beauty, good culinary offer and an active night life.

Split is one of the best known and most visited tourist destinations on the Adriatic and the second largest city in the country.  It is an eternally young city which lives with a slow pace that is very easy to get accustomed to. This city is rich in historical monuments of which we recommend the following: Diocletian’s palace (the heart of the city), the Iron Gate, the statue of bishop Gregory of Nin, the cathedral of St. Duje, church of St. Francis, cathedral of St. Peter, the main court, city basement, St. Anne’s monastery and many others.

Trogir is located in the center of Dalmatia. Its port is preferred by seafarers because of its favorable location and natural protection. It is often named the “museum city” because it is full of historical monuments such as the old city center, Kamerlengo fortress, tower of St. Mark, sculpture of the Blessed John Orsinij, chapel of St. Jeronimo, Ćipiko palace, Renaissance church of St. John the Baptist, portal of Radovan, museum and wine cellar, as well as numerous other historical sites located in this town.

      House 47171-K1 28/08/2024
      A house in the woods, between calm sea, scent of Mediterranean shrubs and cicadas' songs
      The accommodation is spacious and can also be used by different families. Its location is enchanting: it is surrounded by greenery, just a few steps from the sea and the tiny pebble beach. For lovers, like us, of nature and peace, the short path to walk between the car and the house is - paradoxically - an added value that gives even more magic to this solution. The owner of the house is simply exceptional. In line with a prevalent excellent Croatian custom, he is very collaborative and helpful, close, but extremely respectful and delicate. The island is very pretty. Beautiful "green" vegetation, small towns, but equipped with the essentials. Prices are certainly not low - Croatia has not had them for years and the predominant component of high-end nautical tourism is going in this direction -, but also thanks to the precious suggestions of the owner, you can find excellent solutions without running into unpleasant inconveniences. Due to our needs, we reached Split several times during our stay: pleasant and not particularly expensive trips, also to be supported to plan a visit to the beautiful city or to do some shopping.

      great vacation in a remote area
      A very nice place if you want to spend your free time without the crowds of tourists. The host is very nice and provides everything you need. Access is a bit demanding, so I do not recommend it for sports cars, but a normal passenger car works :)

      Great holiday away from any hustle and bustle
      The vacation was ideal to escape from the stressful everyday life and to gain new strength. The house is in a fantastic location (very quiet and not overcrowded) and the landlord is a very friendly and helpful person. We will be back definitely.

      Tranquility in front of a crystalline sea
      The house is located a few steps from the sea in a bay where the water is always calm and clean. There are a few boats that park for the night but it is never too crowded. The house is very nice perfect for a beach holiday without frivolity. There is a nice terrace with a fireplace for grilling. The access road of 2.5 km is a bit bumpy at times. Ivo, the host, is a very kind and caring person always available for any problem.

      We had the best holiday in the best bay with the best owner ever...
      We can definitely recommend everyone IVO & his HOUSE IVO & the bay Uvala Stracinska! It is a great place to be - a very nice house with a great view and a lot of space! Ivo is taking care of his guests and is one of the most helpful people I ever met. Who likes to have his silence on a special place is totally right there. The standard/ comfort is "typical for croatia", so normal (not brand new or a top design), but for us enough and the price if you use every bed ok. We will come back... Our children loved Ivo, his house and the bay!
      Adriagate is in our opinion not as good in communication, booking etc like airbnb or others and the fee is definitly to high... Questions about the boat and the contact to the owner were just answered at the end. Some mails are not seen completly and seems to be strange - you should check / proof your newsletter-sending.
