Approximate road distances. Check flights and bus schedules before you travel.

Confirm before buying. There are passenger catamarans depending on the season. With a car, one option is the Split–Supetar ferry and the road continuation to Bol; check the route before booking.

How many days

Two or three nights let you separate the beach and the mountain, in addition to the crossings.

When to go

June to September usually has more summer services in Bol. July and August tend to be hot with long days. From December to February the winter is typically wet with short days. May and October can suit hikes.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

Unnecessary for the centre and Zlatni rat. For Vidova gora by road, arrange transport; with your own vehicle, check the ferry port.

Frequently asked questions

Are Bol and Supetar the same port?

No. Supetar is on another coast of Brač; those disembarking there continue by road to Bol.

Is Zlatni rat a sandy beach?

No. The beach is made of small pebbles, and the spit changes shape with waves and currents.

Does Vidova gora fit after the beach?

The visit by road can be organised as a separate stage. The trail requires its own mountain planning.

Can you stay in Bol without a car?

Yes, by using the coastal walk and arranging transport for outings outside the centre.
