Family trip to Brac Island with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Brac island is one of the largest among the islands of Croatia. Here, on 400 square kilometers are both untouched natural corners, as well as architectural monuments of the old days. Brac will be appealing to both the quiet children, who appreciate the opportunity to explore the miles of clean, clear beaches and bathe in the azure water without bustle, and to the noisy fidgets seeking to learn something new every day. For small sportsmen, there are football fields and tennis courts, and kids will like small playgrounds and mini-parks with attractions that can be found on many beaches of the island.

Take your child to a beach with the small pebbles called "Golden Cape". It is interesting first of all for the unique cape, which enters the water for almost 300 meters and changes its outlines due to the direction of the wind and the sea level. The cape is decorated with a magnificent pine grove. At Brac, the child will like not only to swim in clean water but also to study the underwater world with fins and a mask, doing snorkeling. If you like fishing, then it's worth taking a child with you – catching fish in the open sea is an adventure in itself, and will not leave anyone indifferent.

Young history fans and just curious children will like in the village of Skrip. This is the oldest settlement on the island, now turned into a real open-air museum. Here you can see not only the old houses and agricultural buildings but also the ruins of the fortress, built in Antiquity by the ancient Romans. In the village, you can see the village buildings of the later eras. Do not miss the opportunity to show your child the artifacts of different cultures and take him to the Archaeological Museum, which is located right here. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Is your child interested in art? Then go to Supetar, where the Cathedral of the Annunciation is located. The child will like not only the old building itself but also a rich collection of art objects from the times of domination of the Venetian Republic on the island. Inside the cathedral, there is also an old mosaic canvas. Children of different age will be interested in the "Cave of the Dragon", which is located near the city of Bol. Inside the cave, there were preserved bas-reliefs both on religious themes, and also the ones depicting dragons and other mythical creatures. Children can be interested in the Blatz Desert, a complex of structures cut down in the Vidova Gora. The architectural solutions will spur the imagination of the kids, and older children can enjoy a lively history, so unlike the dry paragraphs of textbooks.

A curious child will surely like the idea of visiting a quarry near Pucisca. It produces "Brac limestone", a stone of absolutely white color, which was used to decorate many famous buildings, for example, the White House in Washington. Climb with the child on the Vidova Gora. The height is small and will be easy even for a baby, and the magnificent view that opens from the top is simply unforgettable.

Young naturalists should go to the natural park near Sutivan. It is here that you can find a zoo, although not very large, but with lots of animals. There are also several sports grounds, where your kid can play with the local children and other travelers almost around the clock. It's worth spending a day or two just walking around Brac and enjoying the local nature, fortunately, the climate here is very mild. Take into account your and your child’s physical capabilities, store on water and sandwiches – and go to explore the virgin nature of one of Croatia's most beautiful islands!
