Brac Island - Island of Brac - Otok Brac - Insel Brac

Brac Island is one of the most captivating travel destinations in the northern Adriatic Sea. While it is only a small part of the chain of islands in the Northern Adriatic, it has a culture and history that are as diverse as the European countries that are just a quick plane ride away. The airport is located in the city of Split, so this means that a flight to Brac Island begins with a breathtaking view of the highest point in the area, Mount St. Vid. This majestic peak climbs to a staggering 778 meters above the water and dominates the incredible seascape of the islands located off the coast of Croatia.

Upon arrival, tourists will find charming cities that have historical churches and other unique architectural buildings that dot the landscape. These quaint villages not only provide European travelers with luxury accommodations, but also with points of interest that are quite historical. Some of the churches that are made from the limestone found on the island date back to the 10th century. These monasteries, along with the limestone cliffs upon which the island is built, not only provide endless sightseeing opportunities, but also make the scenery quite spectacular. The limestone cliffs combined with the clear aqua-blue water that surrounds Brac Island completes what may be one of the most striking islands in the Adriatic Sea.

The consistently mild climate of Brac Island also makes it a place to enjoy throughout the year. Rain rarely falls on this vacation spot, so tourism has become a mainstay for the population of Croatians who call Brac Island their home. This means that tourists can always enjoy the unspoiled beauty of Brac Island, its history, the culture, and the local cuisine at anytime. Brac Island cuisine is unique because the island produces its own olive oil, cheese, and wine. These products are the perfect compliment to the fresh fish, mussels, date-shells, oysters, prawns, and lobster that are harvested off the coast and are available at the many cafes and bistros. Accommodations include Mediterranean style villas that have modern features such as swimming pools and spectacular views of the crystal clear Adriatic Sea. This makes a trip to Brac Island a once in a lifetime experience that will always be remembered by anyone who visits there.
