 Postira
is a small port town on the northern coast of Brac, between Splitska
and Pucisca. Behind the town is a 2 kilometer long fruitful valley
with wine grapes, and abundant in vegetables. The inhabitants are
mostly occupied with agriculture, fishing and stone carving. Besides
the fresh fish specialties, guests can indulge in the home grown foods
and delicious wines that the fertile soil in the hinterland provides.
Near the town there are numerous, beautiful bays apt for bathing. The
most popular are Prvja and Lovrecina.
The
parish church was built in the 16th century. East of Postira, in the
Lovrecina bay, there are ruins of an Early Christian basilica dating
from the 5th/6th century; two Early Christian sarcophagi and fragments
of Roman plastics are found next to it.
Besides
various accommodations (apartments, hotels, board and lodging), sport
lovers can use all kinds of playgrounds (basketball, tennis, bowling)
and water sports.
Organized excursions such as fish picnics in the Lovrecina bay are also offered to guests.
Among
the cultural activities offered by the Summer of Postira are the
numerous traditional festivals that light up the town and provide
unforgettable entertainment for the guests. They include the feast of
Saint John, the protector of the parish, on June 24th; Lady of Karmel
on July 16th and Assumption of the Virgin Mary on August 15th.
