Supetar - Supetar, Island Town of Culture and Adventure

Dalmatia - Split

Supetar will be your first encounter with island Brač if you are coming by ferry from Split. It's a small town with soul, a dynamic, interesting island centre, offering a subtle wealth of contents. Thematic paths, island cuisine, cultural heritage, events especially in the summer months, invite action and call for exploration.

If you love freedom, live on the move, do sports or are a recreationist; if you hike, run, swim, dive… Supetar is your town, and Brač is the island for you.

It''s not that you won''t enjoy sunbathing on the beaches and drinking coffee on the Supetar waterfront, but Supetar and Brač simply call for action and exploration. You will want to conquer some of the peaks on Vidova Gora, run along the coast in the early morning, dive into the blue sea or walk on one of the thematic trails that reveal the most beautiful places on the island, such as the olive grove in Mirca, an abandoned quarry above Splitska or the historic center of Supetar. If you’re not in top form, the 135 kilometres of the Via Brattia that connects the 12 biggest attractions may seem like too much for you. Don''t give up! You can join and leave this hiking tourist trail in any of the island towns; it circles almost the entire coast of the island.

Choose the pace yourself and enjoy the adventure. In addition to the churches of St. Spyridon not far from Sutivan and St. Martin above Bobovišće, the attractive Blaca Hermitage, the Dominican monastery in Bol and the Franciscan monastery in Sumartin, the Basilica of St. John, the Lovrečina Bay with the remains of the basilica of St. Lawrence and Mirja above Postira, this longest Brač trail also has the Dragon''s Cave above Murvica where Glagolitic priests lived, Podsmrčevik - one of the five hamlets, the stonemasonry school in Pučišća and the Museum of the Island of Brač in Škrip.

Passionate fishermen in excellent shape will choose big game fishing, while lovers of water attractions will choose water ball, banana boat, tube, jet ski, fun in the marine aqua park, kayaking, pedal boats or a boat ride on one of the beaches of Supetar. One thing is for sure, Supetar provides the right dose of culture and adventure. And all those who find this to be “too little”, can head out further, to the heart of Brač, by bike, quad, on foot. Climbing to Smrka, going down by bicycle from Vidova Gora to the sea, tasting vitalac and a glass of red wine. To get the dose of that joie de vivre which has a special dimension on Brač.
