“Oh my gosh, [Bra
č
] is fabulous! The bus system from the airport is very easy to use; they are so helpful. [On
the mainland,] make sure you get a bus tour to Dubrovnik. It is a beautiful trip along the Dalmatian coast. We
liked all the restaurants along the pier in Supetar.”

For its unmistakable Balkans-on-the-Adriatic vibe. Think hills dotted with olive and almond trees, and villages
of white-stone houses. Croatia’s third-largest island, Bra ˇc, has been designated by
Islands
magazine as one of the best
to live on. Ambling along a pebble beach or lingering over coffee at an outdoor cafe are ideal ways to acclimate to the
leisurely pace of life.
