The largest Croatian, and one of the largest islands on the Adriatic, Brac is most famous for its white limestone, but also agricultural products and the most recognizable Croatian beach. Brac is home to two towns, Supetar and Bol, and several sleepy villages scattered around the island’s dramatic Mediterranean landscape of steep cliffs, inky waters and pine forests. Some historians believe that the history of Brac goes as far back as the Iron Ages, but the more recent history is on display in the 15th century Dominican Monastery in Bol where travelers can see a number of ancient coins and the famous Tintoretto’s Madonna with Child painting. Adventurists will love hiking up Vidova Gora, the highest peak of any Croatian island, looming over town Bol.
