Escape the crowds and discover a different side of Brač on a tour that combines nature, history, and authentic local culture.

We begin with a scenic drive across the island to the starting point of a peaceful nature walk. From there, you’ll follow a historic stone path through untouched Mediterranean landscapes toward the breathtaking Blaca Hermitage, nestled deep within a canyon.

Once home to Glagolitic monks who lived in complete isolation for centuries, this 16th-century monastery is now a museum filled with ancient books, astronomical instruments, handmade furniture, and stories of a remarkable way of life. You’ll enjoy a guided tour of the complex and hear the incredible story of how this self-sufficient community survived for over 400 years.

After the tour, we stop for a light Dalmatian-style marenda (snack) in this peaceful setting — surrounded by nature and history.

We then hike back to the vehicle and return to the port, with hearts full of stories and minds inspired by the resilience of the past.
