About Postira
Brač itself is the third-largest island in the Adriatic and is easily reached by ferry from Split. Postira lies on the northern side, roughly halfway between the ferry port of Supetar and the town of Bol, famous for its windsurfing and the Zlatni Rat beach. The island's interior is dotted with pine forests, olive groves, and historic villages, while the coastline offers numerous coves and clear swimming spots. Postira is also close to the quarries that have supplied stone for notable buildings, including Diocletian's Palace in Split.
