Just imagine waking up in a beautiful little seaside town, in a country with a thousand islands and of unbelievable natural beauty. Croatia - a rediscovered location for Europeans starved for new discoveries.
There are more than 1150 islands are located along the Croatian coast which makes up for five percent of the Mediterranean. The most enchanting island is the Island of Brac, located just 45 mins ways from the mainland of Split, at only 2.20hr from locations such as the United Kingdom.
History
Widely renowned and highly regarded in the world, the stone from Brac has been used in the construction of some of the most famous buildings in the world, from Diocletian's Palace in Split to the White House in Washington, and the houses of the fishermen and the labourers of Brac as well.
The small places on the island are bound to fascinate each traveller with their beauty and the purity of their traditional architecture: stone houses, chimneys, wells, balconies embraced in bougainvillea, churches, campaniles, streets paved in white stone or sea pebbles with vines, tangerine, lemon, fig and pomegranate trees in gardens.
The unpretentious simplicity of these houses built to resist the sun, wind and time, karst fields and olive gardens, cairns, stone shelters and drywalls testify to the wisdom and diligence of the island's residents, to the generations that have soaked life from the sun, the stone and the sea.
Supetar
A town and harbour on the northern coast of the island of Brac with a population 2,568. Chief occupations include farming, wine production, olive growing, synthetic material processing, fishing and tourism. Supetar lies on the regional road running along the island. There is a ferry port for the connection with Split. The landward side of the harbour provides good anchoring ground, so, yachts can anchor along the breakwater.
