BRAČ is a stony island oasis that has been attracting tourists thanks to its stunning natural beauty and the blue of the sea. The story of Brač is the story of islanders and their use of finest quality stone that has a long and deep-seated history. Stone has undoubtedly been the most widely used building material throughout the island's history, from ancient times throughout to the present. Stone houses belonging to farmers, fishermen, sailor, magnificent stone palaces of the nobility, stone churches and the monasteries – much of the unique character that can still be seen above ground in small towns and villages. Neither the Emperor Diocletian could resist to the Brač stone nor could the builders of the Trogir and Šibenik cathedrals or the White House in Washington. In the central part of the island, in the picturesque setting of the stone bare land, under the stone terraces, is the Blaca Hermitage – the church and monastery (1550), an exceptionally valuable and unique architectural unity that will enchant you. It is a perfect place to soothe and nurture your mind, body and soul. Vidova Gorais the highest peak on the Adriatic islands (778 m) and is known as a unique vantage point that offers a stunning view of the beauty of the indented coastline of Brač and Hvar. You may relax in the pine forest, hike along the groomed paths in the clean air, and help local people with picking herbs. BOL is the only coastal settlement on the southern part of the island and the most popular destination due to its grand Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape) beach which attracts beach-goers and windsurfers from around the world. So awaken your adventurous side and dive into the deep blue sea, explore the underwater world, feel the rush of wind while sailing and experience the best of the coastline with a unique beach in the entire Adriatic. The interplay of wind and sea currents changes the beach shape but its beauty remains unchanged. Indented coastline, deep picturesque bays, crystal clear sea waters, heavenly beaches, olive groves, vineyards and pine forests – the stunning coastal scenery that will create unforgettable memories. In the evening when you feel a bit tired after an active day, find a nice restaurant and enjoy eating fresh fish and shellfish with a glass of matching wine, and cappella singing group. You should also taste the lamb dish Vitalac that the Emperor Diocletian enjoyed very much. Many celebrities could not resist both the beauty of the scenery and cultural and historical heritage of the island of Brač, and decided to spend their vacation there.

BRAČ – kamena oaza ljepote okružena plavetnilom Priča o Braču priča je o kamenu, i čovjeku što od najranijih vremena obitava na njemu. Bračani kamen ne vade oni ga „beru“ kao najdragocijeniji plod koji je škrta zemlja podarila ovom kraju. Kamen je utkan u kuće težaka, ribara, pomoraca i u velebne palače plemstva te u crkve i u samostane čineći jedinstvenu kamenu cjelinu. Ljepoti bračkog kamena nije odolio ni car Dioklecijan, ni graditelji trogirske i šibenske katedrale, ni Bijela kuća u Washingtonu. U središnjem dijelu otoka, ispod kamenih terasa, u slikovitom okružju kamenih goleti nalazi se samostan pustinja Blaca (1550.), čija ljepota svojom pojavnošćiu izaziva divljenje. To je prostor posebne snage koja će svakom putniku namjerniku pružiti odmor za duh i tijelo. Vidova gora sa svojih 778 m najviši je vrh otoka i jedinstven vidikovac s kojeg se pruža očaravajući pogled na ljepote Brača i razvedenu obalu Hvara. Odmorite se u borovoj šumi,pješačite uređenim stazama na čistom zraku, pomozite domaćinu u branju ljekovitog bilja. Posjetite i malo šarmatno mjesto Selca u kojem su Bračani podigli 1911. g. prvi spomenik ruskom književniku Lavu Tolstoju. Na južnoj strani otoka, nalazi se Bol –mjesto u kojem će vaše srce jače zakucati. Probudite pustolova u sebi, zaronite u plavetnilo mora, istražite svijet podmorja, osjetite dašak vjetra dok jedrite na jednoj od najljepših plaža na Jadranu - Zlatni rat. U igri vjetra i morskih struja plaža mijenja svoj izgled, ali njezina ljepota ostaje nepromijenjena. Razvedena obala, duboke slikovite uvale, kristalno čisto more, rajske plaže, maslinici, vinogradi, borove šume, sve su to slike koje će brojni turisti ponijeti kući kao predivne uspomene. Navečer, kad se tijelo umori, okrijepite se svježim plodovima mora: ribom i školjkama, uz kaljicu domaćeg vina uz pratnju klape. Probajte brački vitalac, jelo u kojem je sam car Dioklecijan uživao. Ljepoti krajolika, kulturnoj i povijesnoj baštini Brača nisu odoljele ni poznate svjetske zvijezde koji su u ovom predivnom ambijentu odlučili provesti svoj odmor.
