Introduction & History
Brac has a more changing history than some of the other Adriatic islands, being under the control of Croatia and Croatia-Hungary, Venice, Austria, France and Russia for differing periods of time.

The Island
This island is the largest in Central Dalmatia at 150 square miles (394 square km) in size, the third largest in the Adriatic, and is one of the sunniest with 2,700 hours of sun annually. The island is known for its agricultural products and the locals produce good wine, olive oil, figs, nectarines and other fruits. But the main export is, and has been from ancient times, the famous Brac stone from which many buildings in the world have been built, including the White House in Washington D.C.

The main resorts are Supetar, Bol - with the most beautiful beach in the Adriatic, the Golden Horn (Zlatni Rat), Sutivan, Milna and Sumartin.

Getting There
One of the most accessible islands in the Croatian Adriatic - ferries run almost every hour from Split to Supetar (with bus connections on to other resorts). There are also daily catamaran services from Split to Bol. See the Jadrolinija website for timetable details.

There is also a small airport near the resort of Bol, with several flights a week from Zagreb in the summer.

Accommodation
Hotels and private accommodation are plentiful in the resorts on the island. See Accommodation on Brac.
