HOW TO REACH THE ISLAND OF BRAC
It is very easy to reach as it takes less than an hour by ferry to reach it. The island of Brac is very close to the mainland, positioned right across the city of Split. The journey from the city of Split to Supetar on the island of Brac takes an hour. Besides the port of Supetar, there is also the Sumartin ferry port, located in the east part of the island. Check out the current ferry timetable here. The island has its airport, Airport Brac, known as the youngest commercial airport in Croatia.
The city of Split, positioned in central Dalmatia, is easily accessible and connected to many international cities with numerous direct flights from early springtime to late autumn. For a list of available flights, visit the Split Airport website.
THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR FOR YOUR BRAC WEDDING
May, June, and September often rank among the popular months to get married in Croatia.
In late springtime or early autumn, it is not too crowded, with mild to warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Usually, the summer months of July and August are the busiest. Make sure to plan to increase your wedding budget if a summer wedding is your choice. However, the weather is (usually) more reliable during the summer months even though we all know that controlling the weather is impossible. It is the one thing you cannot control on your wedding day.
Moreover, when deciding on the date, make sure to consider several factors: take a look at the dates that are important to you as a couple; definitely consider weather predictions, and always have a backup venue in case of bad weather conditions.
But most importantly, regardless of the date, season or even weather, any date you choose is your day, a day that we will celebrate your love and marriage.
