Description
A Brac island is located just offshore of Split. It is well known for its untouched beaches, more specifically, Zlatni Rat beach in Bol. The three-sided shape of this spit constantly changes due to tides and wind directions.
Besides its wonderful coast, the island is famous for its stone that was applied to many sights in Croatia (ex. Diocletian's Palace in Split). Brac is the perfect setting for your trip as it provides the option of exploring history and nature, and with Condor Yachting tour packages, this trip will get even better. From the moment you set foot on the Adriatic coast till your very last step, we will guarantee you enjoy each moment on the Adriatic coast.
Tour Itinerary
Discover the highlights of Brac, the Pakleni Islands, and Hvar all in one day! From the famous Zlatni Rat Beach to the quiet spots of the Pakleni Islands and the lively Hvar Town, this tour offers a day packed with fun and relaxation in the Adriatic Sea.
❖ Starting Your Journey: From Split to the Brac
You'll kick off your adventure by meeting at the designated starting point: Trg dr. Franje Tuđmana 1, Split (in front of St. Frane church). Once you've gathered with your group, we'll hop aboard the boat and set sail for our first stop: Brac.
❖ 8:40 - 11:40 Bol, Brac
Our first stop is Bol, the oldest town on the island's coastline. The fascinating town of Bol is known for its beautiful white stone structures built of the original stone, which was formed to create the legendary Diocletian’s Palace in the nearby Split.
Then, we'll head to one of Croatia's most emblematic beaches - Zlatni Rat Beach, the “Golden Cap” or “Golden Horn” Beach. People come to this sandy beach because it changes its form as it is swept by the Adriatic Sea's relaxed currents and breeze. This beach is not only for various kite windsurfing and boarding activities.
❖ 12:40 - 14.10 The Allure of the Pakleni Islands
On the boiling heat of a summer's day, there is nothing as fresh and relaxing as jumping in the little waves of the Adriatic Sea. For this very reason, we are thrilled to bring you to the Paklinski Islands. Here, you'll have ample free time to discover picturesque bays and dive into the sea before we move on to our next destination.
❖ 14:30 - 16:30 Hvar
Our next destination is the island of Hvar, one of the most picturesque and famous party spots in Croatia. Its charming and tranquil scenery is worth seeing before you continue your excursion.
❖ 17:15 - 18:00 Brac
Our last destination is Milna or Stomorska on Brac. Milna is a city that boasts the title of the island's largest natural harbour. As we approach this fishing village, prepare to be mesmerized by its stunning views and charming atmosphere, making it the ideal way to conclude a perfect day of exploration.
Stomorska on Brač is a charming fishing village celebrated for its crystal-clear waters, traditional Dalmatian stone houses, and vibrant waterfront, offering a tranquil retreat for visitors.
