Bol · Island of Brač · Croatia

About Bol

Bol is the oldest town on Brač, on the island's sunny south coast at the foot of Vidova Gora, and home to Zlatni Rat, Croatia's best-known beach.

Things to do

What to see and do in Bol

Beaches, wind, mountains, history and wine, all within reach of the apartments.

01

Zlatni Rat beach

The famous "Golden Cape", a long spit of fine pebbles that changes shape with the wind and the currents, reached by a pine-shaded promenade from the town. About 25 minutes on foot from the house.

02

Windsurfing and kitesurfing

The channel between Brač and Hvar has a steady afternoon wind in summer, which makes Bol one of the best-known windsurfing spots in the Adriatic. Schools and rental centres line the coast towards Zlatni Rat.

03

Vidova Gora

At 778 metres, the highest peak of all the Adriatic islands rises right behind Bol. Hike or drive to the top for views over Zlatni Rat, Hvar and, on clear days, Vis and the coast.

04

The old town and the Riva

Stone houses, narrow streets and the harbour promenade, with cafés, konobas and the evening passeggiata. Five minutes' walk from the apartments.

05

Dominican monastery

Founded in the 15th century on the Glavica peninsula east of the harbour, with a church, a small museum and a peaceful garden by the sea.

06

Dragon's Cave and Blaca

Above the village of Murvica, the Dragon's Cave holds mysterious medieval carvings (guided visits only). Further west, the Blaca hermitage clings to a steep valley, reached on foot or by boat.

07

Beaches near town

Besides Zlatni Rat, pebble beaches and coves line the coast on both sides of Bol, with clear water and shade under the pines. The nearest beach is about 15 minutes' walk from the house.

08

Local wine and food

Brač is known for its olive oil, lamb and the Plavac Mali wines of the south coast. Taste them at the wineries and konobas of Bol, a few of them just around the corner from the house.

09

Boat trips

From Bol harbour, excursion boats and water taxis go to quiet coves, to Blaca and across to the island of Hvar.
