The Dalmatian Islands are one of those places that get under your skin. I first visited back in 2006 — Hvar and Brač — and I’ve been coming back ever since.
Under this tag, you’ll find everything I’ve covered across the Dalmatian Islands: towns and villages, the best beaches, ferry connections, local life, and the hidden corners most visitors never reach. Every article is the written companion to a video I filmed on location, giving you both the visual experience and the practical detail.
If you’re thinking about visiting one of the Dalmatian Islands — or trying to choose between a few — the articles below are a good place to start. Each one digs into a specific place: what it looks like, what’s there, how to get there, and whether it’s worth your time. Honest and first-hand.

Šolta sits 16 km off Split, close enough to see from the Riva on a clear day, and yet it is still the island most people forget. Ask a tourist about the Dalmatian islands, and you hear Hvar, Brač and Vis. Hardly anyone mentions Šolta. I have been coming here

The western side of the island of Brač is home to two villages that most visitors to the island never get around to visiting. Milna, the larger of the two, sits in one of the most beautiful sheltered bays on the island, about 18 km from Supetar. Bobovišća na Moru,
The municipality and village of Pučišća are tucked into a deep bay on the north side of the island of Brač, facing the mainland towards Čelina. Around 1,500 people live in the village itself, and about 2,000 in the wider municipality. What makes Pučišća stand out is its long history
My first visit to Bol was back in June 2006. I was living in Split and went on a Golden Horn beach trip with family and friends. At the time, getting there was a real commitment — you had to take the car ferry from Split to Supetar, then travel
Supetar, located on the northern side of the Island of Brač, is the largest town, the administrative center, and the main traffic hub on the island. I have visited Supetar many times during my years living in Croatia. Some visits have been day trips, some have been short lunch or

Sutivan is a small holiday village located 6 km west of Supetar on the northwest coast of Brač Island. The village has approximately 1,000 inhabitants. Until my 2019 visit, I had never really had Sutivan on my radar as a holiday spot, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the
