The Golden Cape in Bol, Brac

Bol is a town on the south of the island of Brač, which is most known for its Zlatni rat beach( often referred to as the Golden Cape or Golden Horn).

How to get there?

We took a car ferry for about an hour from Split to Superstar, Brac and then a further hour of bus from Superstar to Bol.

What you can do there?

It's a quite windy pebble beach with lots of tourist, but  it is rather big enough and the water is definitely crystal clear with jewel color. Having a nice sunshine and cool swim there is a must.

Also, Bol is a heaven for water sport lovers and here we saw many people playing kite surfing. It's really cool and we shall reserve some time to try it.

Having a nice lunch at Restaurant Palmižana, Meneghello, we had a short hiking over the island before returning to Hvar.

There are numerous of sobe in Hvar and we stayed in a non air conditioning one with a small terrace in which we could have a nice DIY dinner there with comfortable breeze. Actually it's rather cool at night and this is not a problem without air conditioning at room at all.
