Bol, Croatia: Why This Tiny Town Feels Like the Adriatic’s Best-Kept Secret

#croatianislands When people talk about Croatia’s islands, most mention Hvar’s nightlife or Korčula’s medieval charm. But there’s a little town on Brač Island that stole my heart in a completely different way. #bol is small, peaceful, and home to one of the most iconic beaches in #europe yet it still feels like a place you can escape the crowds and sink into true relaxation. On my Croatian adventure, Bol became my favorite stop. Planning the trip with Trip.com made it so easy to organize everything, from flights and ferries to booking a cozy seaside hotel and even a rental car for exploring the island’s hidden gems. Getting to Bol is part of the adventure, and there are several options: By Ferry: From Split, take a car ferry to Supetar (50 minutes), then drive across the island to Bol. Or by car, I rented a car through Trip.com, which made exploring Brač Island effortless. Having my own car meant I could stop at quiet coves and explore off-the-beaten-path villages.
