Supetar - What to do in 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.

Supetar in one day? During the summer, it’s best to go for a swim on one of Supetar''s beaches, choose a rustic tavern or restaurant and enjoy the great island cuisine, stroll through the historic centre with a mandatory break or two in one of the cafes on the Supetar waterfront. This is the best way to feel the island''s laid-back attitude, ease of living and Mediterranean openness, so you will board the last ferry full of positive energy. Whether you come to Supetar for a weekend or perhaps a three-day trip, it is enough for you to fit in, become a local, find your place on the beach, a favourite cafe for morning coffee and embrace the afternoon fjaka (special state of mind when you don’t feel like doing anything) as something you were born with. Now that you have become a Supetar local, it would not be bad to get to know your little town and its surroundings a little better, and the fastest way to do that is to choose one of the three attractive thematic trails. The cultural walk ""A Day with Rendić"" goes through the historic centre of Supetar, the Hercules trail goes from Splitska to the abandoned quarry, while the Olive Paths go through the most beautiful olive groves.

Supetar in seven days, well, that’s a holiday to remember. Some swimming, some sunbathing, pure pleasure and excursions around the island that turn into a real adventure. Be sure to climb Sveti Vid, the highest peak of Vidova Gora, visit Škrip, the Blaca Hermitage, Dragon''s Cave, pastoral village Gažul, Dol…, have a swim on Zlatni Rat, Lovrečina Bay or Zora in Sumartin…, and be sure to try vitalac, the hrapoćuša cake and the Brač olive oil. For the best way to tour the island, we recommend the Via Brattia, a hiking tourist trail whose 135 kilometres circulate almost the entire coast of the island, making it the Brač version of the Camino. Ideal choice in late summer, early fall or spring. And when it rains (which is really rare on this island) you can spend the day visiting galleries and museums. Start from the Ivan Rendić Gallery in Supetar, the Jakšić Gallery in Donji Humac, through the Island of Brač Museum and the Olive Oil Museum in Škrip, the Branislav Dešković Gallery in Bol, to the Stonemasonry School in Pučišća.
