    Vidova Gora on the island of Brač is, with an altitude of 780 metres, is the highest mountain of the Adriatic archipelago. Its south side descends steeply towards the village of Bol while the northern side is a mild plateau with gentle trails.

    It was the perfect place for a walk surrounded by aromatic vegetation and pine forests. My husband took the opportunity to snap close-up pictures of the surrounding vegetation. I read that the path from Bol to Vidova Gora is a demanding hiking trail.

    We choose to drive and it was easy to reach by car via a well-developed road. From the parking lot it took about 10 minutes (relatively steep) to the viewpoint.

    You should definitely come here, it's the best view of the Golden Horn. If you are on the beach itself it is less spectacular. At the top of there is a 12-metre high cross made from white Brač stone and a resting point with a view over Zlatni Rat beach in Bol but also to the Italian coast on the other side of the Adriatic.

    The view that can be enjoyed from here is truly incredible. We were lucky that the day was clear, but we could see all the surrounding islands - Hvar above all - the Dalmatian coast and, obviously, Zlatni Rat beach.

    The panorama from Vidova Gora is something not to be missed when visiting the island of Brac. Y can see the low bays of Brac, and across the northern side of the island of Hvar, the Pelješac peninsula, Korcula and Vis. I read that on particularly clear days you can see Monte Gargano on the Apennine peninsula.

    Better food than any restaurant in Split and the olive oil is real and uncut. Every restaurant in Split that we tried, has tasteless olive oil, which clearly has been cut with cheaper oils, since most of the tourists don’t know better. This museum and restaurant has local cheeses and wines, the real deal. I am from Italy, and this was the best food on the trip. Plus the guided tour of the museum was given by an expert, who was able to converse in the language of olive oil. All in all a great experience, delicious meal on a magnificent island. Be sure to go to the top for a spectacular view.

    My family had a lovely day at this beach. It is expensive, but most of Croatia is in tourist season. It’s quite crowded but again, nothing unusual about that. But it is also charming, exceptionally clean and well maintained, excellent facilities and really lovely to spend time there. We took a boat from Split and then a stupidly expensive taxi (try and work out a better way of getting around!) but it was worth it in the end. One side of the beach is calm water, perfect for little kids and gentle swimming. The other has loads of waves for the bigger kids to throw themselves into. The food area is immaculate with loads of amazing options - my kids had a pizza, I had a healthy chia seed fruit bowl! There’s also a very relaxed each bar with tunes and big bean bags. My kids said it was their favourite day of the holiday :)

    Very worthwhile. Bring water. Wear sturdy footwear. No sandals or flip-flops. Easy hike down, but arduous in parts going up. The museum is fascinating.

    We took the car ferry from Split and disembarked in Supetar which was a small pretty town. I read that there was not much to do here but we made a quick stop to snap a few picture.

    We had a lovely evening on the wine tour and tasting at Stina winery. The staff were really accommodating and let us start our tasting early as we had to catch a ferry back to Split. The wines were incredible, and it was great to learn about the history of the winery. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and funny. We visited after an afternoon on Zlatni Rat beach and spent about an hour there (though you definitely could spend longer). The experience finished with more wine tastings and nibbles on the harbour front, with some gorgeous views. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Brać!

    If you walk past Dalmatino restaurant and continue past the boatyard in Sumartin you will find 3 small and absolutely stunning little beaches of small pebbles.There are steps down to these beaches and one is divided by a stone jetty.Here the water is so clear and a delicate pale blue colour,clearer than what are otherwise quite nice beaches in Makarska.We had a little beach all to ourselves,there was no need to wear beach shoes as the pebbles were so small,and the water was a nice temperature.Sheer paradise for an hour!

    What a phenomenal evening! We arrived at a beautiful traditional house with stunning gardens just as the sun began to set.
    We sat in a romantic vine covered corner and for the next 5 hours enjoyed what seemed like endless courses of out of this world food, accompanied by all their own wines.
    The host started with a traditional way of opening a bottle of their sparkling wine which made for great entertainment :)

    Each course of food and wine was lovingly presented and explained to us by the husband and wife team who are clearly so passionate about what they do. In particular the history behind the vineyard and the family made it all the more personal.

    This place is extremely special, the setting, the ambience, the hosting but most of all the food and drink! And incredible value for money! We enjoy taster menus regularly, including Michelin starred restaurants all over the world and I can honestly say this is one our favourite to date! It wont belong before this gets a star for sure!
    We visit Croatia each year and this is definitely on our regular list!

    The only small criticism I have is that it does not offer a vegetarian option, as we wanted to go with some other guests. But once we arrived there it was obvious they couldn't cater, as apposed to not wanting to cater, for vegetarians due to the small team! I am sure once they move to their larger venue they will be able to offer for other diet preferences :)

    What a wonderful gem this is really enjoyed our time here the setting the food the wine and Grappa just fabulous. The gentleman (Marko I think) who organises and runs this family business was lovely and really interesting- can’t recommend this place enough. We googled it and hopped on a bus from Supetar really easy to get and from. Pretty location too.

    Beautiful and secluded beach with clear water, great for snorkeling and relaxing. There were few people when we went in September.
    We took a taxi from Bol to Murvica and walked back (the way back is predominantly downhill, so I believe it would have been quite tiring if we had walked the way up there too).
    There is only one bar before the steep path to the beach that only accepts cash.

    Interesting operation with the entire family involved in some sort of art. Sculpture, jewelry, and painting. The lady that leads the operation has interesting stories of the family’s tribulations in maintaining their artistic life style . Located in a pretty little village.

    Great hike! Start early as it can get really hot later in the day…
    We brought our kids (8 year old boy and 6 year old girl), we were concerned they wouldn’t make it but Zoran was really patient and helped us keep it interesting and fun for them!
    Bring about 750ml of water per person, hiking shoes, hiking poles (if you have an injury), sunscreen and a hat.
    It is easy to slip on the way down, stay focused and in the middle of the trail!
