Povlja is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on Brač island. It had its tourism industry since the late nineteenth century, but since the war time in Croatia, it has been all downhill for Povlja. Just as their neighbors from Selca we wrote about a couple days ago, the young people from this lovely little town have had enough of it.

The Olympic motto is “faster, higher, stronger”, but according to Pierre De Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic games; “The important thing in life is not to triumph but to compete.” That is the exact motive that young amateurs on the eastern part of Brač island had when they started a great sporting event in Selca municipality four years ago.
