Go with the flow is not your thing? Always want to fight the tide? Easy is cheesy for you? That's why we have our off-route for you. Your first day, as everyone is heading toward the more popular destinations and racing to catch a berth or a buoy, we will reveal the hidden gem to you. Povlja on the island of Brač is a small village in a beautiful and wide bay with several more that follow on the sides. Once a small Roman estate, the village prospered in the 12th and 13th century, evidence of which was found in Povaljska listina (Povlja chart), the first document written in Croatian Cyrillic letter that depicted lots of the customs, history, and estates on Brač and other lands of that time. Nowadays a quiet touristic place, Povlja is ideal for a slow start without summer chaos. Bars, restaurants, diving school, jet-ski charter...just choose a buoy and head on a beach and town tour to get to know the customs.
