Sightseeing

The island of Brač in Croatia is famous for two things: its white stone and Zlatni Rat beach. The white stone of Brač was used to build Diocletian’s palace in Split and the White House in Washington DC. But the best part: Brač, with more than 2700 hours of sunshine per year, is one of the sunniest areas in Croatia. Brač is popular among sunbathers, but also holidaymakers in search of nature. The golden yellow beaches, the clear blue sea and the pleasant Mediterranean climate make the island suitable for beach lovers.

The Zlatni Rat beach

The biggest attraction of the island is of course the very beautiful beach of Zlatni Rat near Bol. The beach runs in a kind of tear, with a piece of forest in the middle. On both sides of the forest you will find a strip of beach, so you can alternate between shade and sun.

Vidova Gora​

Dragon cave

Murvica is one of the smallest villages on the island of Brač and is not far from the beautiful sandy beach of Bol. The village dates back to the third century and in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries monks lived in the monasteries and caves above the village. One of those caves is the Dragon Cave, the Zmajeva Špilja. Via a shepherd's path you climb to the top, where you not only have a beautiful view of Brač and the coast, but you can also view the cave itself. The monk who lived here carved a dragon and other special reliefs in the rocks. You can also see the remains of a small chapel and the residences of the monks who once lived here.
