Around an hour south of Split via the catamaran lies the island of Brac. This is one of the larger islands in Croatia but not heavily populated. Bol, where I am staying for 2 nights,  is the harbour which is on the south side of the island.  It’s lined with cafes, restaurants and little crafty shops all tailored to the tourist. 

Walking a little out of the harbour you will see the monastry.  Other than that, there is very little culture … the tiny pebbly beaches dotted around the coastline though make for a great lazy afternoon …. which is what I did.
