Supetar - Top 10 reasons for visiting Supetar

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.

Island life is magical. Those who have visited Supetar on Brač at least once know this well, and there are at least ten reasons why you should visit it as well.

Sveti Vid on Vidova gora, the highest peak on Brač, offers the most beautiful view of the entire archipelago of Central Dalmatia. If you are a hiker, you will not want to forego the ascent to the 778 metre high peak, and if you are not in best shape, you can also reach it by car.

Coming to Supetar and Brač without tasting top quality Brač lamb, extra virgin olive oil of protected geographical origin, the delicious hrapoćuša cake, Brač gingerbread or kroštula, feeling the powerful Brač Plavac Mali wines…, is like not having been there. Don't count the calories, because the island cuisine is part of the healthy Mediterranean diet that is also protected by UNESCO.

Don't miss the Blaca Hermitage
You can only reach it by macadam road, but it is worth every step of the way. Located between Murvica and Bol, it was built in the 16th century by priests, hermits from Poljica. Home to priests and the centre of cultural life until the middle of the 20th century, today Blaca is one of the biggest attractions on Brač.

Stop by Pučišća
We strongly recommend a trip from Supetar to Pučišća. Walk through the centre of the small town to the famous stonemasonry school, and on the way back take a swim in the beautiful Lovrečina bay and have lunch in the picturesque Dol. Of course, not necessarily in that order.

Dive into the depths of the sea
Those who have tried it say that there is nothing like it. With experienced instructors from the Brač diving centres, everything is easier, so dive without fear and enjoy the silence of the depths. If you aren''t convinced, there are also simpler ways to have an active vacation, such as walking or running by the sea, sun salutations or meditation.

Don't forget the souvenirs
Original, different, perfect souvenir or a great gift! Souvenirs made of Brač stone, olive wood, excellent Brač olive oil or the s778 Heritage gin, the first gin from Brač, are the right choice for keeping Supetar and Brač close to your heart. You will remember this island forever.
