West: At the centre of Brac’s west coast is the fishing village of Milna, the island’s most beautiful and best-kept secret. The village is set deep in a secluded bay with the church and town square at its centre from where you can look out across the marina at the sunset over the island of Solta. On either side of Milna you will find the tiny, untouched village of Bobovisce and the five indented bays of Lucica with their gin-clear water and volcanic rock platforms.On your way inland look out for Lozisce which sits like a Mexican village carved into the hillside high up above the sea as a defence against Venetian pirates.

South: At the centre of the south coast is Bol Town, the heart of Brac’s tourism industry and the most exciting destination on the island. During the summer visitors from all over Europe are drawn here by the sunbathing and windsurfing on Zlatni Rat, a unique beach that stretches like a golden tongue far out into the sea towards the island of Hvar. During the evenings Bol is where you will find the hottest nightspots. If you prefer to get away from it all, however, you can explore the winding streets of the old town and while away the evening in a quiet ‘konoba’ where you will be treated to traditional food and local wines made on the premises.

East: In spite of its good ferry link to the mainland at Makarska, Eastern Brac is still the least developed part of the island. Those who make time for the wild beauty of this region are rewarded with panoramic views of the Dalmatian Coast, from the mainland to Hvar and across to Korcula Island beyond. The towns of Sumartin, Selca, Povlja and Pucisce will not be overlooked for long. Completion of the Split-Dubrovnik highway in 2008 will improve accessibility from Makarska and Brac’s first golf course is planned in the area.
