BRAČ - BOL - GOLDEN HORN

Easy pedestrian path with stunning sea views.
from wikipedia
Bol [1] (also in Croatian) is the main tourist and seaside resort on the island of Brac, in Croatia.

It is one of the oldest towns on the island and is located south of it while its main economic activity is tourism.

A small airport was built on the plateau just north of the country to maintain tourism even during the war in Yugoslavia.

The toponym Bol derives from the Latin "vallum" which indicates an underground fortification or a trench. The term has the same meaning as the ancient Croatian word "obala" (trench, embankment; today in the meaning of coast, bank, shore, beach) and for this reason it is thought that the toponym of the town is derived from the union of the Roman name " vallum "with the Slavic one" obala "[2].
