Island Brač is well known by its delicious food and olive oil where we will take you on this tour.
Except for its coves and transparent and blissfully unspoilt water, its vineyards and olive groves, the island is known for its interesting history and architecture, above all, Blaca hermitage, as one of the most important and interesting architectural complex of Brač. In 16th century the hermits came here and settled in a cave. It stretches on fifty-six acres, between Dragovode and Blaca bay. It is considered a desert, because of the scarce nature which surrounds the lovely monastery. Blaca desert was a home to many generations of monks since the seventeenth century. For a time in history this was the main school attended by pupils from the small villages nearby. The monastery holds the second largest telescope in Europe, which hasn’t been used for ages.
