One of the oldest settlements on the island, probably dating back to the Illyrians, beautiful old stone houses, hidden alleys and the most beautiful view on the Hvar Channel, Jelsa, Vrboska, Brač island up to Makarska and Biokovo, our reason number 18 - Pitve.

Our list of 25 reasons to visit Jelsa this summer continues with Ivan Dolac, a beautiful little village on the southern side of the island.

After so many reasons to visit Jelsa this summer, here are 10 more. The Gdinj Bays, as they are called. Smrska, Kožija, Veprinova, Rapak, Tvrdni dolac, Torac, Lučica, Skozanje, Jedra, Srhov dolac - 10 small bays located on the southern side of the island, below the Gdinj village.

We are staying on the northern side of the island, but moving a bit more to the east, presenting another very special place within the Jelsa municipality - Pokrivenik Bay.

A great start to the season in Jelsa.

The International Museum Day will be celebrated on Wednesday, May 18, 2016 around the world with the theme Museums and Cultural Landscapes. The Jelsa Museum will participate this year.

Another Stiniva, this time Vela Stiniva (Vela meaning big). Let′s take a look..

Oh, just where to start with this one. A cliff-jumping paradise. A beautiful beach and amazing stone cliffs cutting deep into the dark blue sea. I personally would be more than happy not to step a foot into this place ever again. It is on my blacklist since I became a mother.

Jelsa (and its surroundings) has a variety of options when it comes to choosing a place to enjoy the pristine blue waters of the Adriatic sea. Prapatna Bay is one of them.
