2) Private boat tours around Brač island
If you prefer a more detailed exploration, this is the right tour for you! Brač is a fascinating island – full of greenery, hidden coves, picturesque towns and stunning beaches. It’s well worth exploring!
The tour starts at the mysterious Smrka Bay. Once a forbidden territory, the former military tunnels are now frequented by local fishermen and are open for sightseeing. The deep blue sea and remnants of the past make this place one to remember! After that, it’s time to take a swim at one of the most famous Croatian beaches – the Golden Horn. The beach is a natural phenomenon. It is moved by the waves, wind and sea currents so it’s never really in the exact same place.
Our next stop is Sumartin, a quaint town known for its food! Fresh ingredients and local wine make for an amazing lunch. After this, we’ll visit another town with a name difficult to pronounce: Pučišća. It’s known for its stone-carving tradition and has one of the best masonry schools in the state. Maybe that’s why the town itself looks so elegant! The tour ends with a chance to take another swim at Lovrečina beach and a final walk through one of the bigger towns of Brač – Supetar. Take some time to explore and maybe try some local ice cream while you’re at it!
