Brač, Zlatni rat

Brač

Add to my wishlist

The island of Brač is the highest and the third largest island in the Adriatic Sea, a true micro-continent brimming with valuable cultural and historic heritage, breathtakingly beautiful nature, and stunning beaches.

The marvellous Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) beach in Bol is one of the principal and most recognisable symbols of not only the island of Brač but of Croatia’s entire coastline. Like a long hand that reaches out over the waters for nearly a thousand metres, this beach is caressed by the turquoise, crystal-clear sea in 50 shades of blue, and its tip changes shape, like fingers playing with the wind, waves, and sea currents.

Set apart by its remarkable and unique beauty, the island of Brač in its bowels hides superior snow-white stone that left its mark on the architectural history of Dalmatia as a whole, with gems such as the beautiful Diocletian's Palace in Split, the Cathedral of St James in Šibenik, the Cathedral of St Lawrence in Trogir, not to mention numerous others iconic buildings all over the world, such as the Parliament Building in Vienna or the Governor's Palace in Rijeka to name a few.

Crowned with gorgeous coves and fragrant cypresses forests, the island of Brač will put a spell on you with all the many places that feel steeped in that special Mediterranean lifestyle.

Discover the only Sculpting Academy in Croatia, where future master stonemasons create works of art from blocks of stone, visit the magical Blaca desert, and take in the ‘million dollar’ view from Vidova Gora, the highest peak on all Croatian islands. All of these ingredients come together and form the whole that is the island of Brač, pure poetry of nature and cultural heritage.
