About Vidova Gora
Vidova Gora rises to 778 metres above Bol on Brač, the highest point of any Adriatic island. From the summit the view sweeps straight down to the pebble spit of Zlatni Rat, then across the channel to Hvar and the open sea beyond. It is an unforgettable panorama, and sunset is the time to be here, when the islands turn to silhouettes and the sea glows. Drive up, or hike from Bol in the cooler hours, carrying plenty of water in summer.
