I'd love to give this an amazing review but after a long journey by road (DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE MAPS) and by foot (about 30 minutes downhill and 45 back up), we got to the entrance but the doors were closed and it would seem that you could not enter without waiting for a guide. The actual trail down to the site is lovely and it is magnificent to see a building in such a remote location... however, I'd have liked to have gone inside but instead we waited for 20 minutes and left without doing so.

The hike there and back is very nice. The views from the hermitage are lovely. We never got to see the inside as the tour guide was done for the day. Overall, it's a nice experience to see once. Also - definitely drive all the way down the first road to the designated parking area. I don't recommend walking from the main road, you'll be walking for ages.

Blaca Monastery, also known as Pustinja Blaca, is a historical and cultural monument located on the southern coast of Brač Island in Croatia. You need a car to get to the starting oint, an d then 30-minutes walk in low forest to get to the magnificent scene. You can visit the interior with the guide that can discliose all secrets.

An interesting part of Brac's history. Be prepared for a good hike, back up is more than a stroll. Not all of the tours are in English, we were lucky the Croatian family we were with translated. A beautiful walk and great views.

Fantastic experience and absolutely recommended. The dirt road is about 4.5km and is rough in spots. You reach a wooded parking lot where you start by foot about 30 minutes down a moderately difficult trail. The guide we had was funny but super informative about the Monastery. Museum inside is absolutely worth seeing. We took a longer more strenuous hike out the other side of the canyon with great views back to the monastery. This route out was a solid 45-60 minutes at a decent pace.

Not much to see for the trouble getting there. Bad road to the parking lot, then 45 minutes walk (more in return)

Fantastic and unique place with interesting history. There's a guide to know sth about this place. Be repare that the road is not so easy, especially on the return way 😉. Please wear comfortable shoes!

Wonderful place with an awesome exhibition. Be aware as photos are not allowed inside. You can hike from a parking place about 2.5 km away. The drive to that parking space is a bit tricky as the street is not good.

Depending which route you take in, you could miss seeing the front of the monastery. We took the route most people were taking, marked with spray paint near to the entrance of the car park, and it leads directly underneath. We were interested in seeing the front of the hermitage and not so much the tour, and took maybe a 5 minute detour to just walk across to the trails on the other side of the hill for full beautiful views of the entire thing. Not a difficult hike and we found it beautiful throughout!

A truly unique experience. HOWEVER - the monastary is definitely not open on ANY Monday!! We read reviews that only the museum was closed on Mondays - but nope - the whole thing is closed, year round, just on Mondays. Regardless the trip in was a total adventure - it was awesome. We rented a quad bike (definitely get a quad bike, we saw many cars being forced to turn around on the dirt road in). It was fun and exhilarating. The actual hike was moderate - 1.8km by my Garmin watch each way from the carpark to the monastery. We read a lot of complaining reviews about the hike - whilst it was uphill on the way back, if you have a base level of fitness and wear appropriate shoes you will find it a good walk. We did each way in 25mins (not sure who these people were saying it took 45-60mins each way 😅) Once in a lifetime experience to see and do something different and enjoy being outdoors at the same time 😁 GO - you'll love it!

Definitely worth visiting! 30 minutes hiking (mostly downhill) to the place and a bit more on the way back. Have a good sneakers and plenty of water. You can buy a bottle of water at the monastery for 30 kn. There is no toilet at the monastery.

After 5kms by car (on a rocky, narrow road), you have to walk around 2,5km also in a rocky road until tou get to the monastery. It’s a beautiful place to visit. It costs 40kn to go inside for adults and 14kn for children under 14. It’s really beautiful. You can also go there by another road - you can go by boat and climb. No matter which way you choose, it takes around 30 min each way to get to the monastery that it’s amazingly well conserved. The monastery it’s opened every day from 9.00 till 17.00. They close 30 minutes from 13.30-14.00.

I really enjoyed my time at this monastery. It's an interesting place with an even more fascinating history. The short hike from the upper parking lot to the monastery was easy. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Very clean and clear water beach. Little salty water but not much to get skin very sticky. There is no sand, instead entire beach consists of tiny pebbles. Good for swimming. Suitable for kids. Car parking is nearby with shade and fee for 20kuna per hour. Toilets available for fee. ATM, some small eatery available.

Interesting place with unique beach that changes its shape from time to time. If you prefer a quiet beach, this is not for you. Too many people, loud music. Place looks nice from a distance. Thr most expensive parking lot right next to the beach, 20 minutes by walk - it's cheaper.

The beach is great with multiple spots where you can relax under the shade. The water is very clean! There are many options for food and snacks. The train to get here costs 4€ per person.

Absolutely stunning beach! Words are hard to describe the place! Great views all around and plenty of stalls offering food and drinks..

Awesome beach , mesmerising beach. It’s situated in Brac island of Croatia. Must visit, although during this April month, the water was cold but little bit sunny which balances the things. It’s really is very beautiful and also it’s in horn shape so people visits this beautiful place to have a mesmerising view and awesome scenic beautiful surroundings.

Nicest beach in Croatia. I have enjoyed nice view of sunset from it. It's pebble beach but the stones aren't big so you can go without swimming shoes. I love that the beach wasn't so commercialized with too many restaurants in it. So it has some peace. And it's very wide and big. So you can find a place with no crowd.

Beach is nice, water is super but just remember to bring your own food and drinks, as the price level of beach bars is just idiotic. 0,5l tap beer 6€, so-so pizzas and burgers around 10€, cocktails from 10€ upwards and so on. Beach chair 12€, 2 with umbrella 36€ and cushioned double chairs 40€.

I had many expectations of this beach, beautiful but not great. The water is clear and clean but not as impressive as other places I've seen. There are many lounge bars and places to eat street food, two quality restaurants. I recommend getting a sofa in a lounge bar and staying there all day rather than paying 36 euros for two sunbeds and a sun umbrella, have a drink and enjoy the whole day.

For two summers, we vacationed on Bok and swam on this beautiful and very famous beach. Very nice memories. The beach is pebbly. The tongue that extends into the sea has a beautiful beach and swimming here is excellent. But there is a lot of wind and no shade.

Often called the most beautiful beach in Croatia, if not in Europe, this jewel of the Adriatic Sea, justifiably deserves this title. The unique shape of the beach created by the sea every day gives the beach a new look. Beautiful transparent sea, sun and pine trees and the shade of them, are all you need for a perfect day at the beach. A beach that must be visited for life.

Lovely beach with crystal clear water, fishes, infrastructure and great views! The cost of 2 sun beds and umbrella was 240 hrs in the first week of September 2022. Definitely recommend to take a walk from Bol, as on your way you can enjoy some beautiful views.

Dont waste your time and money on this beach. 37 euro for 2 beds and a umbrella, 20 euro for parking. Overcrowded and commercialized. Nothing to see when swimming. There are many more beautiful beaches to explore.

You can exhale- you found your perfect happy place Amazing beach with the clearest and most inviting water with the most perfect color blue Visually stunning with plenty of shade provided by the trees Excellent choice of well priced healthy food and bars for R&R Super clean, no litter, no annoying beach vendors looking to sell you junk, everyone is respectful of the environment and clean public bathrooms swim for hours or snooze the day away It really can’t get better than this You have found you perfect beach

This beach is perfect and the city is so charming, would come back there one million times. You have everything thing you need there, showers, toilets, bars, street food and even bicycle parking. Our accommodation offers bikes for free to the guests so we took advantage of it and went there cycling. The way to the beach is so lovely. Bol is amazing, we are in love with this place.

Located 5 mins from the parking lot. Nice beach but no sand as some others wrote, small pebbles only. At the tip there is a strong current and water is deep but there is a roped off section where the water is calmer and shallow suitable for children. You need to pay to use bathrooms and showers. It is possible to walk along the coast and swim in other less crowded areas.

Zlatni rat is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean with a pine forest and crystal clear sea. But when you step on the beach the impression changes quickly because you will feel like you are in an anthill and when you enter the sea I was like in a fish pond. The crowd was great even though it was September. You will surely empty your pockets on the beach because everything is paid for and prices are high. Sunbeds cost €12 each and a parasol costs an additional €12. There are even three points for water sports, the offer is rich, the prices are uniform and high. Aqua park costs €15 per person for 30 minutes. The offer of fast food is also rich, the cheapest food is a small slice of pizza that costs €5. There is only one toilet on the entire beach and the only shower is located in the same place. Using the toilet costs €1, taking a shower costs €2.50, and if you need a towel to wipe yourself after showering, it's another €1. There is a queue to use the toilet and shower. There are also several beach bars with pleasant music, but they are expensive. The pine forest on the very beach where I used to be able to lie is now mostly filled with fast food kiosks and beach bars. It is recommended that you take everything you can with you, water and other drinks, sandwiches, and a parasol is recommended. The beach, or the return to the city, can be reached by boat, which costs €4 per person in each direction. The same service is offered by little tourist train with the same price of €4 per person in each direction.

First time to Brač island. Bol looks very nice and clean. Great walk by the beach shore. Nice cocktail bars, ice cream and stands with local stuff along the way. We came here in September and because the high season just ended, there's not many people around. But the sea water is still warm and good for swimming. Water is very clean and clear. You can basically see the sea bed very clearly and deep. Overall a pleasant site. Would recommend to visit it and enjoy your vacation.

Stunning beach, rightly one of the best in the med area. It's stony but don't let that put you off. Some cool bars and cafes alongside, in the pines...this place is so cool

Nice place, the wind is always blowing. One side therefore is with big waves the other is calm. Lot of food stands and restaurants. Playgrounds for kids in water and on the beach. Ideal for surfing and kitesurf. Restricted and watched areas by lifeguards. You have to pay for the toilet, shower and parking.

It’s one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen. The water even at 30ft is crystal clear with colorful fish swimming all around the sea grass. Water is refreshing, plenty of places for snacks and drinks, water activities and more.

One of the main reasons we chose to visit Brač was to spend the good part of a day climbing Vidova Gora. It’s the highest point in the Adriatic and while it’s only 2,552 ft. Its 2,599 ft. prominence (height relative to the rest of the terrain) affords some remarkable views of Zlatni Rat, Bol, Hvar, and so much of the Adriatic Sea. We hiked directly from our hotel (Lifestyle Vitar) to the top and back for a 6.5 mile loop. We’re both pretty seasoned hikers but this definitely wasn’t the simplest of vacation hikes. Totally doable but bring a decent bit of water for the summer months and wear sturdy footwear/take your time coming down as there’s a lot of loose gravel. Really beautiful views from halfway up and you’re hiking along with pasture goats which was a unique experience. If you’re not into the hike, you’re able to drive up decently close to the summit and walk from there. Picnic tables at the top to enjoy a meal and take a breather. Highly recommended and one of our favorite parts of our trip to Croatia.

Stunning view, amazing 😍

An absolute must while on the island. When you get to where it tells you that you have arrived, you can park and get photos, walk, and get a drink/snack. You can also continue to drive up or walk to other viewing points and so worth the visit. Its incredible

One of the most beautiful places on the Dalmatian coast: the views are simply stunning, as you get to grasp Bol, all the Dalmatian islands from the Bays of Hvar to Korcula, Peljesac, Vis, Bisevo, Lastovo and even Mljet on a clear day while also having the background of the Biokovo mountains to the East. They say that you can see Italy on a very clear day but coming there every year for 30 years I havent been able to do so, so maybe this is more of a myth. Hints: While the view from the parking grounds are stunning in itself it is worth walking up a few minutes to the antenna station as you get views to Vis and the Western part of Hvar as well. The walk from Bol is fine on a cool day but you might feel frustrated when you arrive at a parking lot after walking for hours. Go on a clear day! The best days are when a little Bora wind is blowing and clearing up the haze. On hazy days you might just be able to see Bol and parts of Hvar. Go in the early morning or evening for nice lighting. The restaurant on top has been closed for a while but as of September 2019 there is a friendly little kiosk with drinks at the parking lot. The road from the main road is quite narrow but there is ample space to evade crossing cars. It is easily doable for every type of car. Just dont drive too fast and enjoy the beautiful forrest all around.

Amazing views! Place for connecting with Nature. There is small cafe with coffe, water, icecream. You can pay by card.

The pace is gorgeous. It has beautiful flora, huge forest and it is the highest point on Brač and even the highest point among Croatian islands. You must visit the place and enjoy the peace and beauty of this magnificant nature. At the top the site is beautiful and magnificant. It has a wide view to the see and the islands. See you there.

We had a nice cycling-trip from pastura to the top of the mountain and enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and the impressive view very much...even it was hard to "climb the peak using a bicycle and just our "own" power...

This peak was one of the major reasons why we choose to take the car with the ferry, as it is quite a long and steep drive to the peak. We saw people cycling, but surely they were suffering a lot. The views are phenomenal, and you can clearly see Bol from here and its insanely clean water. There is a shop where you can buy ice cream or drinks from. Definitely include this when in Brac!

Absolutely amazing, a must-see when on Brač. Beautiful views of the mainland, Hvar Island, and of course, the Bol's famous beach The Golden Horn...

The views during the climb up were beautiful, but my arachnophobia did not allow me to continue the way up and we had to go back. I do not recommend a trip in the early evening when the spiders are active. I knew they would be somewhere, but I didn't expect to have a two-meter web with a huge spider above my head. I think these views would frighten even the fearless.

Came here in a cloudy day so not the most ideal time to enjoy it but seemed like a nice beach. There is some free parking near the cemetery

Water 10/10 View 8/10 Beach 5/10 Infrastructure 1/10 Absolutely clear water and beautiful scenery. Beach itself is a small stone beach and not that comfortable but parking is quite close and free (but the parking spaces are very limited). While there is a small bar, there is no infrastructure like toilets or showers at the beach or anywhere in range

Pleasant beach. You can park cca 100m from there, easy to walk, but might be difficult if you have a baby buggy. Dont expect shadow, but waters are crystal clear and warmer than other beaches on Brač.

Beautiful and clean beach. But during high season there are too many paddle boats laying around the beach and in the water, which is very disturbing. This beach become a sporty beach which is kinda sad.

Beautiful scenery, lovely beach and it has a shower which is a really good point. Only one thing is that the beach bar was sooo noisy the music was very loud, probably the bartender girl wanted to have fun and ruined the feeling a bit.

Very clean water and not very crowded which makes the beach perfect for relaxing and swimming. The only minus is that the whole beach is with rocks not with sand. It's a bit hard to be reached but it deserves. There is a beautiful view to the Croatian coast. You won't be dissapointed if you go there.

Great but small beach

Had an amazing time, the wine was great and we all enjoyed the bread, cheese & olives. Would highly recommend.

Perfect afternoon in Nerežišća, the wine and cheese were perfection. The location was beautiful and peaceful...a lovely break from the city and many tourists. Hvala, Marko.

Had a great wine tasting experience. Highly recommended. Good selection of wines and drinks to try along with food. I took my own gluten-free bread along to try the olive oil. We, too , transfer from our complex to the venue. This was all arranged by Marko, which was really easy.

We spent an excellent 4 hours at this place wine tasting (I think that tells you how much we loved it!) and enjoying the quality food that accompanied it. Marko was the perfect host and we had some brilliant conversations over the time we were there, super interesting. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Brac!

Wonderful experience that we would thoroughly recommend. Marko was incredibly friendly and welcoming and easy to talk to, we really felt we had an opportunity to better understand the island and life here. The place itself is beautiful and was built by the host. The grappa, wines, and food were all wonderful and it’s hard not to leave with some to take home! If you’ve even remotely considering it, drop them an email and arrange to go, you won’t regret it!

Went here with some friends for wine testing, not really knowing what to expect. But we were positively surprised by the owner's hospitality and service. The wine was amazing, as well as the grappa. We also had some really nice cheese and other snacks to complement the wine, which made this a 10/10 experience.

Marko and his father are polite, the place looks nice enough and the tuna paste was very delicious. But the rest of the experience was very underwhelming. The grappa was mediocre at best and the bottles looked like they haven't been cleaned in a while. Rogačuša was the only one decent enough to enjoy. And the worst thing, the 3 wines provided, white, rose and red tasted very bland and cheap. We could have bought better tasting wine from a random shop for 20 euros total, instead of paying 250 euros for 10 people. The presentation was very short, maybe 1-2 minutes in total with very little detail. I can't understand for the life of me how did this place got so many good reviews. The owners really seem to be good and decent people. I hope they decide to improve the experience in the future. I would not recommend this experience to anyone in the current form.

I have a lot of wine tastings under my belt living near Napa, and this tasting was truly unique. I got to try five delicious, different grappas (including flavors like carob and walnut!), four different wines, and a dessert wine. The rosé was my personal favorite, with a fruity, juicy flavor I've never experienced in other rosés. I bought my favorite grappa, the herbal (rosemary and sage), and the grand total including the tasting came out to only 100 kn. That's unheard of where I'm from, where a tasting of such generosity would cost minimum $60. The ambiance was tranquil and rustic. Marko was very helpful and easy to coordinate with. I got to amble down the country roads after the tasting, drunk and happy as a clam. Highly recommend.

Miserable! I really can't understand the good reviews… I wouldn’t even give this one star! I recommend to look for another winery for wine tastings. We were there one afternoon and the owner's son, I think his name was Marco, was completely listless and disinterested. We didn’t feel welcomed but we sat down anyways because we drove one hour for this wine tasting and on the web page it looked fantastic. He then brought us three different wines and a bit of bread and olive oil - but on request and then disappeared into a little room and played with his cell phone all the time. He didn't explain or tell anything of his own accord. We sat there and felt like:… okay this is kinda creepy and strange and sipped on our glass. We finally decided not to stay longer as it was getting really uncomfortable for us and bought a bottle of wine as courtesy for 80kn!!?. I have never seen such poor quality anywhere before… for this price you usually get really good quality of wine in other wineries (I strongly recommend Stina winery in Bol)! There were larger particles and hair floating around in the bottle (see pictures) - disgusting!! I wouldn’t even dare to give it away as a present. I know, there’s lo label on the bottle so no proof that’s from there but Marco said the white wines have not yet been labeled… maybe due to the poor quality.

Local father and son business, both very friendly. The place was very nice and cosy with about free parking places and multiple more parking areas nearby by the roadside. €20 for wine and cheese tasting. Marko (the younger one) presenter us with 5 different Croatia Grappa, 4 wines, local cheese and local olive oil/tuna dips. Everything was very nice. The cat (who doesn't have a name) was also very friendly and slept by our side. Highly recommend.
