Croatia - Island Brac - Sutivan
Sutivan
(Stivan) is a peaceful seaside town on the northern coast of the island of
Brac. It is 7 kilometers away from Supetar, the main ferryboat port. The
town is marked by beautiful pebbled beaches and lovely promenades and parks.
The beaches of Sutivan have gained a reputation for their extraordinary
beauty, beginning with those in the town (like Bunta beach). Taking a walk
westward one can come across twenty unique bays and beaches where, even in
the peak of the season, you can bask in tranquility and enjoy a swim in the
crystal clean sea.
Sutivan offers a large number of catering establishments, bars, taverns and
restaurants. The port is suitable for smaller yachts to moor, while larger
yachts may need to find moorings outside the port. Numerous monuments and
events along with sports facilities make Sutivan an attractive destination
for sports and cultural tourism and also for an active vacation.
Foundations and fragments of the architectural decorations of an Old
Christian church dating from the 6th century are preserved by the wall of
the Church of Saint John (the 16th century). There is the citadel of the
family Marjanovic from 1772 with its specific sundial. There are also
interesting houses of the Natali-Božicevic family (the 16th century) and
Definis (a collection of furniture and art works).
Guests can also enjoy an abundant sports-recreation program: free climbing,
windsurfing, and fitness center; and for those who are more adventurous the
area around cape Gomilica is apt for spear-fishing.
Welcome to Sutivan!
