TRIP TO BOL - BRAČ - PICTURE GALLERY |
Hotels in Brac |
Bol is a small town on the south of the island of Brač in the Split-Dalmatia county of Croatia, population 1,661 (2001).
Bol is renowned for its beach the Zlatni rat ("Golden horn"). It is a promontory composed mostly of pebble rock that shifts with the tidal movement. The economy of Brač is based mostly on tourism, but fishing and agriculture (especially wine and olives) are very important too, as is its precious white stone (which was used in building Diocletian's Palace in Split, and is built into the White House in Washington, DC, too). Historically, Brač was famous for goats; even Pliny comments that from the island of Brattia (the Latin name for the island) comes excellent cheese, wine and olive oil. |
