Brac with ferries sailing back and forth all day between Supertar and the mainland has the best of both worlds: shopping and fun in Split and the joys of a beach vacation and peaceful coves on the island. The fact that Lozisce is only 6km from Supertar, the main ferry port for Brac, makes the trip that much easier.  In summer there are 14 ferries a day! Brac is the closest island to the mainland and the ferry trip takes a mere 40 minutes.
