Once a humble settlement of winemakers, fishermen, and seafarers, Bol is today a vibrant tourist oasis that has preserved the warmth and openness of its people. This gem of Brač offers a blend of tradition and modernity – a developed network of modern hotels, comfortable accommodation in private houses and apartments, and camps immersed in the peace of Mediterranean nature.
In addition to its hospitality offerings, Bol boasts a rich variety of activities: from windsurfing, sailing, and diving clubs and schools, to a large tennis center and sports fields, a fitness center, and many other facilities. Sea lovers find special pleasure here – the port has a marina for yachts, and Bol is also a favorite stop for excursion boats and sailors. All of this enriches its unique cultural identity, recognizable for the qualities that remain in the hearts of visitors.
The wider Bol area is a true recreational paradise, infused with cultural-historical and folkloric treasures, offering an unrepeatable blend of continental charm and the scent of the sea.
Just a few kilometers to the west lies Murvica – a picturesque village with vineyards, crystal-clear beaches, and a silence that smells of the past. Here, hermitage monuments are hidden, and special attention is drawn to Dragon’s Cave – a cave chapel whose walls are adorned with carved reliefs and religious figures.
In the island’s interior, at the foot of a steep cliff, lies the Blaca Hermitage – a fascinating complex that has testified to human perseverance for centuries. The hermits left behind stylish furniture, a piano, artworks, a library, a collection of antique weapons and clocks, and a telescope, creating a unique cultural monument that continues to inspire today.
Gornji Humac and Pražnica, villages in the upper part of Brač, enchant visitors with their authentic atmosphere and island specialties. A stay in Bol is hardly complete without climbing Vidova Gora, the highest peak of the Adriatic islands, offering a breathtaking view, as well as exploring the whole island – a place where summer days are filled with the fullness of life.
