Brac is the largest island in 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. With its proximity to the mainland - to the city of Split in particular - the island is also very easy to reach. The island is known for its fishing, 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., Berlin's Reichstag, and the Catholic cathedral in Liverpool, as well as Diocletian's Palace in Split and the cathedral in Trogir closer to home.
The main resorts are Supetar, Bol - home to one of the most
famous beaches in the Adriatic, the Golden Horn (Zlatni Rat) -
Supetar, Sutivan, Milna and Sumartin.
