Brac Island Holidays

Q: How big is the island?

Covering an area of 153 square miles, Brac is Croatia’s third-largest island. It’s also the longest island in the Adriatic and, as it has the highest peak, the most elevated, too.

Q: How do I get to Brac Island?

There are regular ferries from the mainland coastal hubs of Split or Makarska to Brac Island. From Split, the ferry to Supetar takes 50 minutes, while it takes an hour from Makarska.

Find your perfect holiday

A picture-perfect Croatian island

Gorgeous Brac Island is something of a poster child when it comes to the beautiful Adriatic Coast. It’s home to Croatia’s most famous beach – the shape-shifting swirl of shingly Zlatni Rat (often referred to as Golden Horn or Cape) – a gorgeous interior thick with vineyards and olive groves encircled by a rugged coastline and plenty of traditional villages. Brac Island holidays offer everything you could want from a relaxing Mediterranean getaway. Croatia’s third-largest island is one of its most picturesque, and one of the easiest to visit from the mainland.

The buzzing port of Supetar is home to hotels and masses of popular restaurants, while the fishing town of Bol is close to fabled beach Zlatni Rat. For those who prefer to be more off the beaten track, smaller, quieter settlements like Postira and Milna dot the coastal road. While holidays to Brac Island offer a delicious hit of Mediterranean relaxation, there’s enough to see and do to keep families, couples and those outdoor-lovers happy.

Best things to do

Climb Vidova Gora
To reach the impressive peaks of Vidova Gora, you’ll have to do a three-hour climb from the outskirts of Bol. As you hike, you’ll be rewarded by sweeping views of the mainland and Hvar Island.
Go windsurfing
Thanks to the light breeze that blows around this area, Brac Island is a well-known windsurfing hotspot. Rent some gear, then head to Zlatni Rat to have a go yourself.
Find the dragon’s cave
The hamlet of Murvica is one of Brac Island’s best-kept secrets. Here, you’ll find karst caverns once occupied by 15th-century monks, including The Dragon Cave so-called because of the relief of a dragon carved into it.

The star of the show is the vast third century palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian. Today it doubles as Split's old town and has been used to film Game of Thrones. You'll visit two markets and grab a typical snack at Mlinice Pantana, before heading to Trogir.Stacked with medieval palaces and churches, and a Romanesque-Gothic cathedral, it packs a lot of heritage into its narrow, cobbled streets.

Full-day tour of Krka National Park’s waterfalls from Brač
Full-day tour of Krka National Park’s waterfalls from Brač
5 reviews
The great outdoors don't come any greater than Krka National Park, one of Croatia's wildest natural treasures. You'll get a chance to breathe in the freshest of airs and explore vegetation-rich and waterfall-splashed landscapes. Tomislav, a local guide, says, “It's a paradise not only for people, but for the 860 species of plants and 240 species of birds and fish that call Krka National Park home.”Krka National Park is a protected place of thundering waterfalls, lakes and riverside walks. After a brief introduction, you'll have the day to stroll along the wooden waterside walkways and admire the scenery. But the park's crowning glory is Skradinski Buk – a huge natural pool with 17 cascading waterfalls bursting through the trees. Tomislav adds, “The fairytale tiers of Skradinski Buk were formed by layers of travertine limestone building up from the mineral springs that feed it.”You'll stop here for a snack at a local restaurant with a view that you'll want to lock away and remember for ever. You've then got all afternoon to explore the park for yourself. You can go wildlife spotting along the trails, as nightingales, herons, falcons and owls are all regulars here. Plus, the water is so see-through-clear here that it's easy to spot fish in the waters of the Krka River. Simply strolling through the park's walkways gives you a whole new appreciate for the power and artistry of Mother Nature.
