New tourist programs in the open following epidemiological measures

To secure a pleasant and safe stay in Bol, the Bol Tourist Board, in cooperation with the general practitioner, Markica Tomić, M.D., provides COVID-19 rapid antigen tests starting from April 13, 2021.

Thanks to this option, the guests will have an opportunity to quickly determine whether their respiratory and other symptoms are covid-related or related to another respiratory infection.

Bol is the first island town in Split-Dalmatia County that has secured the provision of antigen testing. It is just another illustration of responsible and thoroughly planned strategies of BOL for the upcoming season. During April, the vast majority of the tourism workforces will undergo immunization. By the end of May, we expect that 50% of the local population will have also received COVID vaccines.

The Brač Airport has announced flights from Ljubljana, Dusseldorf, Zagreb, Wien, and Linz in accordance following epidemiologic measures and situation, and air traffic is expected to commence in the second half of May. The director of the Airport, Mr. Tonči Peović, points out that they will organize the covid antigen testing to respond to tour operators and airlines’ demands.

The first Bol hotels will open their doors by the end of April. They will provide masks for their guests and will implement necessary and mandatory epidemiologic measures and protocols.

As more and more people are interested in outdoor activities, the Bol Tourist Board has designed walking/hiking and cycling trails that follow local legends. The peak of route 100 hides the Macić dwarf, whose treasure is in an underground cavern.

Route 102 is for dragon lovers. They can walk all the way to Zmajeva špilja, where they will have an opportunity to see rock reliefs that tell stories about fairies, werewolves, and witches of Slavic mythology. Moreover, the view from 307 meters is breathtaking.

It used to be a gathering place of gentle fairies that would turn into witches during rough weather. Another favorite cycling trail leads through irresistible rosemary, sage, and lavender fields to Zlatni rat, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, hiding the Lucky stone – the fountain of eternal happiness and wellbeing.
