 Milna
is a lovely port situated on the western coast of Brac, in a bay also
called Milna. It is the safest and the best natural port on the
island. The ACI Marina Milna has 200 berths and 20 shore storage
places. It is opened during the whole year.
Nearby, along the coast
there are numerous beautiful bays with sand and graveled beaches
(Pasika, Osibova, Lucice, and Maslinova). A nicely decorated
bathing-place is situated in the Vlaska bay.
Milna was developed in
the 16th century. The church Gospe od Blagovijesti from 1783 has a
monumental Baroque facade and a Rococo plastering series from the early
19th century. In the Osibova bay there are ruins of a gothic church.
During the Napoleonic wars the Russian fleet had its base in Milna.
Sports
and recreation lovers have five-a-side football fields, volleyball and
basketball courts, and bowling and tennis tables at their disposal. A
couple of diving centers on Milna provide beginner and children
courses, as well as advanced courses and diving excursions.
Milna is
suitable for numerous excursions, both on and out of Brac. The
surroundings of Milna are ideal for cycling, hiking, and free
climbing. The coast offers excellent conditions for sailing, or for
just bathing at some of the beautiful beaches amongst the many hidden
bays.
Milna is connected to Split by ferryboat and catamaran services, via Supetar (20 kilometers).
