It is held in Jezera at the end of September and it lasts for a week. The initiator and co-organizer of the “Big game fishing” is the Sport-Fishing association “Punta rata” from Jezera.
THE RETURN OF TENNIS TO BOL!
The best sports story of the tourist season – Bol’s ITF Futures tournaments!
All ultimate heroes of the white sport began their thorny path at Futures tournaments! Novak Đoković, Rafael Nadal, Croatia’s Marin Čilić and many other kings of this noble sport began their path to success precisely at tournaments of this category. And after a rather lengthy 15-year break, from May to September 2015, Bol on the island of Brač – the world-famous tourist resort, will organize the ITF Futures tournaments – Bluesun Cro Circuit for both male and female young tennis players, sponsored by Croatian President Ivo Josipović!
Croatia once again becomes an attractive tennis destination, which represents immeasurable importance and contribution to the extension of the tourist season, and an addition to the value of Croatian sports offerings.
According to the head of the Tourist Board of Bol Markito Marinković, Bol successfully connected two top-notch contents that have always been its trademark. In order to attract an event of such caliber, a small town on an island could only be a place of exceptional tourist potential and recognizable brand.
Therefore, he is extremely pleased with the fact that the potential of the site was timely recognized by the organizers, given that high-quality tennis courts and associated recreational facilities are located only 5 minutes from the hotel room.
This is a great promotion of Bol as a desirable sports destination – in a very short time period, contestants from over 60 countries from Brazil to Australia, achieved 10,000 overnight stays. The Tourist Board of Bol will continue to provide full support to the organizers.
The organizer Felix Lukas and Tennis Club Kaštela
The organizer of this tournament is young Felix Lukas from Kaštela along with the city’s tennis club. Lukas, who has extensive experience in organizing such tournaments around the world, pointed out for Croatian Hotspots portal that he has chosen Bol for this tournament because it offers all of the existing infrastructure, i.e. objects that were used for previous tournaments.
The rich tourism potential of Bol as a destination and its incredibly beautiful environment thus perfectly fit into the concept of the tournament, as evidenced by the number of overnight stays, increasing out-board consumption in the pre-season.
The organizer Felix Lukas delivers trophies to the winners.
Tournaments are also held during the early and late season when the weather conditions are ideal, they attract guests, foreign investors, and competitors are happy to extend their stay. One of the famous visitors of this tournament is our well-known tennis player Ivan Dodig, who also gave support to the organization.
Organizers with Ivan Dodig
He added that more than 20 tournaments will be organized till the end of September, making a total of 5% of the world tournaments in this category. Tourist destination development strategy in off season focused on white sport guarantees inevitable success – tennis is back in Bol!
TOURIST ARRIVALS INCREASE – ANOTHER POSITIVE YEAR FOR TOURISM IN BOL
In addition to these innovations, this year as well Bol achieved growth rates which definitely confirm its status of a strong tourist destination that reflects the strategy of its development, continuously working to improve the offer.
The results speak best for themselves:
August
In August, Bol achieved 170,444 overnight stays, or 26,117 arrivals, which is 8% more than in August 2013 (157,052 overnight stays).
In the first 8 months Bol achieved 431,385 overnight stays, or 69,265 arrivals which is almost 5% more than the same period in 2013 (411,837 overnight stays).
Even the “white sport” could not resist natural beauty of Bol
Do you fancy playing tennis this afternoon?
If you are a fan of this sophisticated sport, you should know that playing tennis and refreshing yourself in Zlatni Rat afterwards is the most valuable gift you can treat yourself with in this off-season. At your disposal there are high quality tennis courts, tennis equipment, friendly staff and top tennis schools. Later on, you can always refresh yourself at one of the paradisiacal beaches or wander under the starry vault of warm autumn sky in one of the excellent restaurants in Bol with spectacular views of the open sea.
Tennis center “Potočine” in Bol had 12 tennis courts in 1984. Today, this is an excellent tennis center with over 20 red clay surface tennis courts surrounded by pine trees. The central position is the center court stadium where many exciting finals took place. For precisely tennis tournaments made Bol famous!
In addition to new visual identity of the destination created this year, Bol can boast of new superb videos, recorded for promotional purposes.
Check out the new promotional video – Bol – symbol of the Adriatic
Bol – primeval beauty of the central Adriatic
One of the most visited and most successful Croatian destinations profiled in recent decades as an absolute mecca for tourists and a place which in its essence sums up virtually all the beauty of Dalmatia. Few locations boast such harmony of architecture, nature and numerous beaches that are so beautiful that the first impression about them is are they real or not!
Bol has many beautiful secluded beaches that are sometimes unfairly overlooked in favor of Zlatni Rat. The best thing is that they are all located only a few minutes from the town center. But Bol has a rich historical and cultural heritage as well, that best reveals itself to the visitor in off season, when one doesn’t have to seek shelter from the heat under the cloak of Zlatni Rat, but is able to explore all the treasures of this island.
Bol – an unusual name for a destinaton, and an interesting paradox. Bol really hurts but when, and only when after the visit, you must leave. But separation doesn’t have to be permanent…
We are waiting for you in Bol!
Take a look of Bol through virtual tours
19th International Festival of New Film
13th – 20th of September 2014.
International Festival of New Film / Split Film Festival (founded 1996) is the oldest and in many ways the most important international annual film / media manifestation in Croatia. The Festival takes place every September in Split and promotes all innovative, personal, experimental, radical, subversive etc. work of all genres, styles and lengths, preferably from outside the mainstream.
The festival programme showcases a selection from the current global film production, works that have been screened and awarded at a number of renowned film festivals (Rotterdam, Berlinale, Cannes…) as well as festivals a bit off the beaten path. In spite of the limited funding, the programme includes first screenings of a number of Croatian films, making this festival one of the most important Croatian film festivals.
The programme of the 19th edition has been arranged in 6 sections – Competition Feature, Competition Shorts, Forum 3, Gender, Reflections and Special Programme. The official programme offers a range of workshops, presentations and lectures, focused on the theme of this year’s festival: surveillance and how to avoid it (how to protect oneself). What we tried to introduce this year is the multi-disciplinary approach, encouraging discussion from various aspects – artistic, legal, technological, literary, sociological and geopolitical.
The 2014 Split Film Festival opens on 13 September in the “Central” film theatre with the screening of this year’s Rotterdam winner SOMETHING MUST BREAK by Ester Martin Bergsmark, a strong tale of search for love and human dignity in a contemporary world.
The best features and shorts in the competition will be awarded by international juries.
Every year The Special Festival Award is given to a famous international artist, accepted, among others, by Peter Kubelka, Bela Tarr, Lars von Trier, Harun Farocki , Sally Potter etc..
Films will be screened in Karaman Cinema and Zlatna vrata Cinematique.

A real tourist champion
The island of Vir deserves our congratulations – it is a real tourist champion!
Statistics have shown double bed nights in this island, even in pre-season, while record increase in domestic guests is also recorded.
It is a result of wise usage of tourist potentials and well organised promotion, both in domestic and foreign market that launched one of 300 islets of Zadar’s archipelago straight into the starry sky of the most desirable destinations.
But, Vir won’t stop here – construction of new hotel facilities is being considered, as well as fantastic initiative for opening a university centre, which would, by dislocating certain studies from the nearby Zadar, include Vir in educational-scientific flow and encourage its excellent development!
This destination has begun its tourist story as an excellent destination for family vacation, due to its beautiful beaches enriched with whole-day animations.
Wide choice of suitable contents ensures constant entertainment, specially appreciated by the young ones!
But not only light forms of recreation are available here; there is also a great offer of active vacation for the demanding ones – during the whole year!
EVENTS, SPORT ACTIVITIES AND RECREATION
Sport activities enthusiasts can participate in serious competitions like Vir’s marathons, cycling races and sailing regattas, and in very joyful quarter finals of Adriatic Games, on 11th August. For those who are creative we recommend photo workshops at the beginning and the end of July.
It is also necessary to mention Vir’s Night (13th August), Vir’s Festivity (29th of August), that unite all the people, no matter the preferences, in a carefree summer party.
ELITE TOURISM
Vir gave its special contribution to domestic elite tourism, with attractive historical building redecorated in exclusive complex for guests, which is possible to rent only as a whole.
Off course, it is the famous lighthouse from 1881!It is located in a solitary place, with its own attractive beach and whole range of exclusive contents – from ordering food from top-quality local restaurant, to hiring Dalmatian klapa for better dinner atmosphere.
It has brought to Vir a scent of luxury and modern, very personalised approach to guests.
The cultural and historical heritage of Jezera
Dear explorer of the history of our island, Come to Jezera in the footsteps of the old Liburnians. In Podjasenovac Bay, the graves of two Liburnians were discovered. Furthermore, above Murter Bay (2 km south of the town) you’ll see a stone pile in an unusual shape, which the locals call Pudarica. It is assumed that it was used by the Illyrians (or the Liburnians) to warn passing ships by means of a beacon. Ascend the beacon yourself, dear explorer, and signal the passing sailors yourself – thereby echoing the past.
The largest parish church is the Church of Our Lady of Health, built in 1722 and a fine example of Mediterranean baroque architecture with a 32 meter bell tower and 7 altars – the most outstanding of which are the carved wooden altar of Our Lady of Sorrow, and the main marble altar with a gold-plated relief of Mary with her infant.
From the Church of Our Lady of Health you can gently descend down the road through the part of town called Košluk. The road leads to the fields next to the lake Lokva and the centuries-old well with an ancient drystone wall. At an intersection in the paths, you will find the Church of St. Rocco from the 16th century – built as a protection against a devastating plague in the distant past, which fortunately did not take too heavy a toll on the population.
As you climb to the cross on Kružak hill, you will eventually reach the little church of St. Constantine (dating back to 1780), built as a protection against malaria, which over the centuries has often killed younger residents both in the village and surrounding area. The stones for the construction of this church and the nearby walls were carried here by those suffering from this disease. They had a high body temperature, and would have been dressed in light clothes during wintertime – not only carrying heavy rocks but climbing to the site of St. Constantine, and no doubt sweating from their efforts. Those that were strong enough, and could reach the top, would be healed.
The church of St. John of Trogir is located in Jezera harbour and dates back to the 17th Century. It is used as an exhibition space where the works of prominent artists are displayed. Legend has it that when marauding sea pirates, probably Moors, attacked this harbour centuries ago – they torched every single church except this one, because at the pinnacle of its tower it had the symbol, not of a cross, but of a flame. In Murter Bay you will find the church of St. Nicholas – the patron saint of travelers, sailors, fishermen and children, from the 15th century.
The tradition of cultural gatherings in Jezera is continued today by the Koledišce cultural club, established in 1970. It was named after an old lake in the viscinity of a square in the village, near the former town hall (or viknica) where representatives from villages on the island of Murter used to convene.

Even though people feel well also during walks through a park or a forest, a stay by the sea awakens positive feelings which are soothing, and the person feels as if he or she had recharged his or her batteries. The sea air contains negative ions and ozone which encourage deep breathing and fill us with life energy.
The promenade along the sea as far as Brela extends from Jakiruša to Berulija is 6.5 km long and, if you feel ready, you can extend it to other towns of the Makarska Riviera.
Regardless whether you walk or ride a bike, a normal physical effort suffices for you health, which is 150 minutes of exercise a week. This is enough for the heart to start working faster.
Recommendation: When you go for a walk, wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Breathe in with full lungs and start! On the first day walk for 30 minutes. For the first 5 minutes warm up walking lightly, and in the past 5 minutes slow down. Fast walking on the first day of exercise should take 10 minutes maximum. Make short steps, bend your arms in the elbows under a 90° angle and keep them at the level of your waist with your shoulders relaxed. Start the walk 3 times a week and then every day. Walk whenever you can. With time slowly increase the duration of your walk until your reach 60 minutes.
You may do the promenade also by Nordic walking. This is an activity that engages almost all large muscles in the body, and it also ensures favourable conditions for the circulatory system operation. Besides, Nordic walking is intended for all ages, so that the activity can be practiced by children, adults and the elderly.
We recommend organised walks 3 times a week with the supervision and a programme of a professional guide!
Individually or in a group, mountaineering and a walk on Biokovo is a unique experience. However, it is our recommendation that you should take a professional guide by all means. This will contribute to your personal safety, but also reveal many secrets and beauties of this proud mountain.

The learning path of the ancient Berulija from Subotišće to the St. Nicholas Church is around 2,700 m long, and it can be completed in about an hour or a little more than that in one direction, depending on the stamina of the visitor.
It is marked with nine learning tables. This is an easy mountain path; its tour lasts for about 1 hour. Of course, just like for any other mountaineering path, you will need firm footwear.
The start of the path is at today’s centre of Brela Gornja, at Subotišće. The path will then take you to the recently deserted Gornja Mala settlement with the old church of Our Lady of Health from the transition of the 17th to the 18th century, old stone houses, barns and wells. Then the path on its right side leaves the Illyrian cemetery called Gomila and the ancient Besedišće settlement, it passes beside the Klešići settlement, the Vodice spring, the Mrkore cave, and thick pine forest of an foreboding name of Dubrava (Grove), up to the St. Nicholas Church (572 m above the sea) from the 14th century – until recently a centuries long patron saint of Brela.
Traces of the past times bear witness at every step: pastures and meadows, “live” spring water, pens and shepherds stalls on the slopes of a tame mountain where sheep, goats, horses, mules and donkeys were grazing. One used to hunt for partridges and rabbits, and since recently for wild boars and chamois. Nowadays in this landscape you can meet nature lovers: hikers, mountaineers, tourists, pupil excursions, groups of pensioners … The smell of heather, sage, Spanish broom and Dalmatian Laburnum cures the soul, inviting the hikers and lovers of this tame mountain. Birds are nesting and chirping from the trees.
The learning path has many things to show, and even more so to bear witness to the genuine jewel of nature, to the creations of horny hands of its inhabitants attached to their hearth and their permanent battle for subsistence and survival in harmonious coexistence with nature.
For sports climbing you have at your disposal a pretty high rock, offering different routes of medium difficulty, even if there are also easier routes. The slabs which request preciseness and persistence are the main characteristic of this climbing zone. The potential of this rock was discovered by the Austrian climber Christian Hacker who has equipped, together with his friends, almost all the routes. All of them, as well as the other visitors who come to this site, are fascinated with the spectacular view of the sea and the nearby islands of Brač and Hvar. You want to be alone when climbing? This is the cliff for you!
You can get the map with the directions drawn in here or in the office of Brela Tourist Board.
WARNING: Climbing is a dangerous sport and you are doing it at your own risk!

It is possible to take a bike ride on the territory of the Makarska Riviera during the entire year due to extraordinarily favourable weather conditions. The coastal area of the Makarska Riviera is around 60 km long and 3 km wide, just at the foothills of the Biokovo mountain.
During the warmer times of the year we recommend that you finish the ride by 10 o’clock in order to spend the warmest part of the day on one of our numerous beaches or enjoying refreshments in a beach bar. A particularly beautiful time for a bicycle ride in Brela and the Makarska Riviera are the autumn and the spring.
A ride along the sea (a less demanding terrain): During the entire time you are most close to the sea. In Brela there is a concrete promenade along the sea suitable for an easy ride. The ride is about 6.5 km long from the Jakiruša to the Berulia area. If you are in a good shape, you may extend your ride across to the neighbouring towns of Baška Voda, Promajna, Bratuš and Krvavica up to Makarska. If you are taking the path along the beach, you will get to an interruption in the path between Brela and Baška Voda of some 200 m that you will have to pass pushing your bike or you will have to climb up beside the Berulia hotel to get to the road toward Baška Voda. The first stage of the path is covered in asphalt providing an easy ride with only a few minor ascensions. The beauty of this track is that almost during the entire time of the ride you have a magnificent view of the sea and the
powerful Biokovo mountain. When you pass Krvavica, the terrain starts there that will most certainly win you over if you like narrow beaten paths with occasional technical difficulties in the form of stones and roots. The configuration of the terrain will leave you breathless with its beauty and you will pass the next two kilometres with ease and will soon find yourself in Makarska. After some rest and sightseeing in Makarska, you can take the same path back.
Apart from the ride along the sea, you can also go for a mountain ride on village and forest paths at the foothills of the Biokovo mountain.

It is important to mention that the people from Solin, are with reason, proud on the long tradition of olive oil production, marked with new technologies and olive oil production types, which provides us with the true enjoyment in extra virgin olive oil.
GASTRO RECOMMEND
Speaking of cuisine, we recommend to try high quality home made wines, which award the hard work of Solin people with enological pleasure.
As a dessert, make sure you try fresh and dry figs, famouse even outside of the boundaries of Croatia. It would be a true sin, to visit Solin, without trying it.
It is clear, that not without reason, Solin deserves a title of the undiscovered pearl of Croatian gastronomy that discovers itself to its inhabitants and passengers through new untold experience.

‘Science meets arts’ workshop on BIODIVERSITY
Brela, Croatia, Aug 25-31
This workshop aims to integrate the artistic and scientific practice through a project where participants will experiment with different forms of creative expression. Using various artistic tools young scientists and artists will try to bring the topic of biodiversity closer to the public, but also to themselves, and to increase public awareness and public support for sustainable development policies. Working together for a week, exploring ways to connect science and art, they will present the results of their work to public in MAP where the workshop takes place. Seemingly opposite, these two disciplines both re-examine, look for the truth and aim to influence what is really important.
“Limits are only within us”
Science is undoubtedly one of the most creative profession that is an engine of changes in the society. Discussion will be focused on scientific challenges in 21st century and also on practical approaches how by education we train new generation of scientists who will be able to respond to these tasks. IN particular, how interdisciplinary education, creative thinking and the courage to focus n big questions will help young students to sort them in an original way. In addition, we will try to deeper discuss the effect of biodiversity in nature on human health by showing examples of influences between species and also indicate how individual changes within a person can affect the outcome of diagnosis and success in treatment of tumours and other chronic diseases.
Ivan Dikic grew up in Croatia, where he trained as a medical doctor. He obtained his PhD in molecular biology from the University of Zagreb and New York University Medical Center. He is currently a Professor at Goethe University Medical School and Founding Director of the Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Sciences in Frankfurt, Germany.
His research focuses on the role of ubiquitin (Ub), a small protein that is covalently attached to thousands of cellular proteins. His pioneering work explained how Ub acts as a multivalent cellular signal that is recognized by an expanding number of Ub-binding proteins, which in turn translate this molecular signal into appropriate cellular phenotypes. His group demonstrate the importance of Ubiquitin in the regulation of DNA repair, inflammation, cancer, infection, receptor endocytosis, and proteasomal degradation. Most recently, he described mechanisms by which linear ubiquitination can regulate the NF-kB pathway making a decision between cell survival and death pathways and how selective autophagy pathways remove specific cargoes to the lysosome for degradation. These pathways are novel targets for anti-cancer therapies.
His recent recognitions and awards include the Leibniz Award (2013) and Ernst Jung Award in Medicine 2013 as well election in the German Academy Leopoldina (2010).

By visiting the traces of Lucius Artorius Castus in Podstrana, you too take a stride deep into the legend of King Arthur
Fragments of inscription on the sarcophagus of Lucius Artorius Castus of the 2nd century AD, found in the fence surrounding the old church of St. Martin in Podstrana, make historic evidence of his ancient asylum and a long time gone empire.
These archaeological artefacts related to the Roman commander of an exceptional military career, also make part of the legend of King Arthur. The first to propose this thesis was the British scholar Malone (1924), nowadays to be confirmed by scientific researche of Littleton, Malcor, Mathews, Gidlow, Green, among others.
Who was Lucius Artorius Castus, the person who provided inspiration for the legend of King Arthur?
He was a historic figure who advanced from the position of a soldier, to a centurion, a legion commander, a Roman fleet prefect, eventually to have ended his career and life in his province of Liburnia, the present day Dalmatia, in Podstrana – Sveti Martin.
Having become famous in the battles and wars against the Armenian hordes, Lucius also acquired the right to sentence Roman citizens to death. Besides by his military merits, Lucius is also known for instigating development of olive planting in the area of the present day Podstrana.
Numerous historic traces of the tempestuous war events in the area of Podstrana are still deep under the ground. Just like Lucius long time before him, the Croatian Prince Mislav left his traces in the soil of Podstrana in the 9th century. In the year 839, he defeated the mighty Venetian fleet, whereupon the Venetian Dodge, Pietro Tradonico, in Podstrana – Sveti Martin signed a treaty committing Venice to pay the Croatian Prince Mislav an annual tribute for free sailing the Croatian see. Historians claim that this historic treaty was signed in the former chambers of Lucius Artorius Castus, at that time still preserved.
Visit Podstrana and join us in our search for new traces of the legend of King Arthur, that historians have been led to by the archaeological artefacts of the life and death of Lucius Artorius Castus here, in our and your Podstrana. Somewhere under th fertile land planted with olives and citruses, there are numerous, still undiscovered, remains of the Lucius’ retreat and farming villa and mausoleum. It is possible that you of all us find them…

BOL – CROATIA
August 25- 31, 2014.
The Upcoming European Slalom Championship event is organised by Zoo Station Bol in co-operation with the JK Podstrana and Croatian Windsurfing Association.
About Events
The first event organized by Zoo Station was back in 1999, that was slalom on classic 8 but 1 vs 1 concept. The event was a great success and was very attractive for watching because you have only 2 riders facing each other on the course area and spectators could be part of the action without questioning “what is going on?” In the end the event was really great but for that kind of event you need a great wind to accomplish a successful day with 40 competitors.
The Idea
Basically organizator wants that Zoo Station center becomes a spot on the map of slalom competitions.
Their best choice was to host an IFCA event because the venue is great and so are the conditions, also with such an event we would like to take a step ahead from national events.
On previous events we already had some top riders such as Pierre Mortefon, Finian Maynard, Chris Pressler, Tine Slabe and many more . . .
So the idea was let’s try with a continental level and maybe a worlds in the near future.
Mission
Is to have a recognizable event that both competitors and visitors enjoy visiting.
We wish to get a nice feed back from people after their departure with a smile while thinking about the event. We believe that such expressions are the key points of this great sport we all share.
4.Expectations
We look forward to some nice windy days and big battles on the race course during the competition days, including some nice relaxing time on the shore with good music and cold drinks.
5.You’re invited because:
You should come and see a great windsurfing destination with breathtaking views, come and be part of it and of course show us your skills.
