Location: Brac on Croatia
Car: recommended
Brac is one of the easiest islands to get to from Split this is usually by car ferry. There are at least a dozen Jadrolinija car ferries a day from Split to Supetar (one hour) in summer, less at other times of year. Supetar is the main port of entry on Brac Island as well as its administrative centre. Although many people only give Supetar a passing glance on the way to the much more touristed Bol, it merits more. The harbour is an attractive place for a stroll and is backed by a small group of medieval streets. The most outstanding attraction is the 18th century Church of the Annunciation which is worth checking out for its altar paintings. On the southern coast of Brac Island, Bol is a secluded harbour town near famous Zlatni Rat beach, one of the Adriatic's most distinctive beaches and one of the best beaches in Croatia. Besides swimming and sunning there are a number of watersports on offer at the beach and It's particularly famous for windsurfing.
