Golden Horn

Golden Horn (Zlatni rat)

Golden Horn is one of the most frequenlty used motives on Croatian post cards and with its unique look attracts visitors from all over the globe. It cuts the sea almost vertical, changes its shape and size according to winds and currents. The spot is excellent for windsurfing due to excellent micro location with constant and frequent wind

City of Bol

Bol is a typical Dalmatian town which used to be the home of fishermen and sailors but now is mostly oriented to tourism. What is very important is that Bol has a long standing history of making high-quality world class wines!

How to get there

Most of you will take a plane. Your destination airport is in Split (SPU): http://www.split-airport.hr.

After landing you need to get to the Split harbor via bus or taxi (half an hour ride). From there you have 2 options:

Direct speedboat connection to Bol at 4pm - http://www.jadrolinija.hr/pdfs/9603.ljeto.2013.e.pdf
Regular ferry connection to Supetar, Brač (every half an hour) - http://www.jadrolinija.hr/pdfs/631.2013.ljeto.e.pdf

We will organize transportation from Supetar to Bol for all attendees who will miss the speedboat at 4pm. If you get to Split too early, we recommend to spend some time in Split and use the speedboat connection. Contact us freely if you will need any help with your travel.

How to get back

Again, there are two ways you can get off the island and go to Split.

Direct speedboat connection from Bol (Saturday @ 6.25a.m., Sunday @ 7.25a.m. - http://www.jadrolinija.hr/pdfs/9603.ljeto.2013.e.pdf
Regular ferry connection from Supetar (Brač) to Split (every half an hour) - http://www.jadrolinija.hr/pdfs/631.2013.ljeto.e.pdf

TRAVEL TIP: If you must fly home Saturday then early speedboat connection is your best option BUT you will miss the BOAT TRIP and you do not want to miss the BOAT TRIP! There is an option to catch a late flight back (after 21.00) and go to the boat trip, but it could be a bit expensive due to unstable bus connections with the other side of the island (you would need to use a cab). So if you don't want to have a hectic Saturday night better book your flight on Sunday after 10:00a.m. :)
