This half-day tour of Brač just gets better and better. You'll visit an olive oil museum in Skrip, see traditional stonemasons at work in Pucisca, and end the day on a high at Vidova Gora – the highest point in the Adriatic islands. Add in some Dalmatian wine tasting to the mix and it's a great introduction to the island's history and culture. One of our expert local guides, Luka, says “you'll be a Brač expert by the end of this trip. Not only will you get to sample a bunch of the regions specialities, but you'll dive into the world of stonemasonry, which is something not a lot of tourists here have discovered yet.”
Leaving Supetar early in the morning, you'll wind your way up to the hamlet of Skrip. The island's oldest settlement, it's where you'll visit a fascinating olive oil museum for some tastings along with local cheeses, olives and meats.
Next up is Pucisca, a pretty, coastal town famed for its white limestone quarry. The stone here has been used to build some of the world's most recognisable landmarks, including the White House in Washington DC, Diocletian's Palace in Split and the Vienna parliament building. You'll stop by for a visit and also drop into Croatia's only stonemason school, followed by a tasting of two local wines. The last stop of the tour is the summit of Vidova Gora. At 780 metres high, it offers panoramic views over not just Brač but other islands, including Hvar, Vis, Korčula and the Peljesac Peninsula.
