Milna
Spend a half‑day exploring Milna’s harbor and nearby beaches; add one night if you want a quiet seaside base.
Milna is a tiny port town on Brač with a safe harbour, a walkable old town and easy access to secluded beaches. It’s ideal for a short stop‑over or a single night to unwind away from the busier resorts.
