Brač is a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea. Supetar, the island’s main town, offers a horseshoe-shaped beach and ferries to and from Split. A 50 minute journey with large gulls riding the thermals, accompanying us across.

My first stop is at it’s best known white-pebble beach Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn), a favoured windsurfing site outside the resort town of Bol. The Golden Horn is the most spectacular of all Croatia’s beaches. It’s not just its shape that makes it so beautiful and unique. The pebble beach is surrounded by crystal clear sea, that goes from turquoise blue to dark blue in just 10-20 meters. Like a tongue, it extends almost half a kilometre into the blue sea, and grows by the application and deposition of small gravel pebbles around the submarine reef, and it’s top changes it’s shape, adapting to the rhythm of the waves and sea currents.

Next stop in Bol, is the Dominican monastery, which houses Tintoretto’s ‘Madonna and Child’.

Founded in 1482, this monastery was damaged by the Turks in 1571 and later fortified with a tower. Palms, orange trees, hydrangeas and lavender bloom in the cloister garden, and there’s an interesting little museum packed with fossils, ancient Greek inscriptions, Greek and Roman coins, and beautiful religious icons dating from the 16th to 18th centuries.

Bol’s little port is rather picturesque….with a Renaissance-baroque palace with an art gallery, a square and a castle, and a complex of houses of original folk architecture lining the hillside.

On the recommendation of Trip Advisor customers, decided to pop in for lunch at the Kopacina restaurant, in Donji Humac. Glowing reviews about its Brac cuisine, especially lamb. A lovely terrace setting as well. And you know how I (guiltily) love lamb! Well I must say the sous-vide lamb was extraordinary 😱. So delish!! And no need for dinner after that helping!

Last stop, the pretty harbour of Bobovisca with crystal clear water, that was originally built for the ships of the Emperor Diocletian.

A fantastic day, really loved that little island.
