The Municipality of Selca lies 36 km from the capital of Supetar and 26 km from Bol, and there’s also a car ferry to Makarska. Due to its excellent transport links and the possibility of safe anchoring of marine vehicles, it is a place of an extreme nautical importance. For the lovers of magnificent coupling of crystal-clear sea and untouched nature, the municipality has prepared a total of 1400 beds in private accommodation. Rich cultural heritage and homemade delicacies will meet the expectations of even the most demanding guests.
This string of 5 Dalmatian pearls is proud of three coastal locations (Povlja, Sumartin and Selca-Puntinak), and two places on the hill (Novo Selo, the Municipal Center of Selca).
Great tourism tradition has been ongoing since the establishment of the first tourist association in Povlja (1931). Povlja, as well as Sumartin, with a new nautical port with 30 berths and nautical pump nearby, are both safe anchorages for ships – they offer secluded sandy beaches and countless hidden bays ideal for visitors in search of true peace and rest. The lovers of sightseeing will also come into their own, due to numerous sacral and monumental objects and items – from the oldest preserved document written in Croatian Cyrillic (the Povlja Charter and the Povlja Treshold), found in the well-preserved 6th century Christian basilica and in Benedictine monastery; to the local parish church in Selca, a neo-Gothic style building which, for its monumental splendor and beauty, carries the title of the Cathedral of Brač. Selca, intrinsically connected to the stone-masonry and architecture of white stone from Brač, have a number of important sculptures, among others a monument to Tolstoy from 1911, and statues of famous Croatian artists Meštrović and Augustinčić.
When Selca’s guests get pleasantly tired from the sun, sea, sightseeing or a 70 km walks through the pristine nature, it is time for homemade specialties: enjoy the original natural products of high quality: seafood and fish, lamb, figs, herbs, with a drop of homemade wine and oil!
