Bol, Island of Brac, Croatia

Vladimir on April 10th, 2008

I’ve spent most of my childhood and adult life in a beautiful place on a small island. The name of this place is Bol.

I was born not far from there, and I was lucky that my grandparents and their ancestors before them decided to throw an anchor in Bol.

Bol is a magical place. I have not met anyone yet who was in Bol and came back not transformed. Bol has this effect on people. I do not know is it the nature, which looks like God decided to make it his retreat, the simplicity of life, the most beautiful beaches and the sea, food, wine and music at nights, or something else.. Seems like everyone finds something special for themselves.

Bol is placed on an Island of Brac, in the Adriatic cost of Croatia. There are many ways to come, quickest being the Brac Airport, 20 minute ride by car from Bol. The other way would be by far larger Split airport and then taking a boat or ferry. You can also come here sailing while cruising the Mediterranean sea.

If you want to find more information you can visit the official Bol homepage. The tourist season starts in May and lasts until October. The peak is 5th of August when also the famous Bol Fiesta takes place.

Accommodation prices in Bol vary, as this is a desired tourist destination. I can offer you assistance if you contact me, and also have rooms for rent in my own house available at much more affordable prices (friend rates), although these tend be taken quickly. Just let me know when you would like to visit.
