If you're visiting Split, then Brac Island, around an hour's ferry ride from the port of Split,
makes a pleasant day trip. The island is the largest in Dalmatia and its uncrowded nature,
good selection of restaurants and excellent swimming areas makes it very popular. With the
intense blue of the Adriatic, lush green pine forests and white sand beaches, Brac's pictur-
esque combination is difficult to beat. Although tourism is a key livelihood in summer, Brac
is largely an agricultural island with wine, olive oil and fruit its major farming products. The
main port is Supetar but be sure to explore further afield, the island has many lovely little
seaside villages, some centuries old.
