AFTERNOON BREAK

LOVREČINA - MIRJE

After hard work in the field and the cultivation of poor land, good rest is really necessary for our farmers. In the shade of centuries-old olive trees and healthy sea air experience a part of their everyday life and enjoy delicious food!

Cove Lovrečina is about 4 km from Postira and is famous for its large sandy beach and precious archaeological sites. You can reach the bay by boat and car, and it is a pleasant walk along the sea. Due to its very soft shores, even small children and non-swimmers can enjoy carefree swimming. The dense vegetation in the background provides sufficient shade and above the beach you can see the remains of Basilica of St. Lovre from the 5th century. It used to be a monastery with a church and a large sacristy, baptistery and a vestibule, and fragments of frescoes and sarcophagus are left in the remains of the complex.

After sightseeing of the remains, you can take a swim and enjoy the warm sun.

Mirje is a place dating back to the late antique and is located on a beautiful hill with a breathtaking view of the Brač Channel. These ruins in the middle of green vineyards are the remains of Benedictine monastery along with religious and commercial buildings. In the evening, the special atmosphere creates a sunset while its rear trails overflow the sea and trickle through the cracks of the wall creating an immeasurable image.

Now it is time for real rest. Near Mirje lies a spacious olive grove owned by a local family. Every day they take care of their olives, which gives them back with high quality domestic oil. From other fruits of their farm, family also produces various liqueurs, marmalade and domestic wine. In a serene environment and good company you will feel the real life on the island and enjoy homemade drinks and dishes or delicious meal prepared on „gradele“.
