Rich pastures and dew ponds
The Mirca area has been inhabited since ancient times when Romans used the rich pastures and dew ponds in the area. In the Middle ages, these activities are continued by the locals from Donji Humac.
Mirca is an ideal choice for quiet relaxation in the middle of a busy island in summer. This small village is located 3km west of Supetar and is divided into Gornja and Donja Mirca.
Mirca is characterized by 2 motifs. The first one is almond trees that bloom with white flowers in early spring, turning the whole village white as if it had snowed. The second one is votive chapels which are located all over the village and on roads leading to olive groves. The chapels are built by people to make vows or to thank the saints who answered their prayers.
Donja Mirca is a newer settlement by the seaside where you can find numerous apartments and luxury villas for accommodation, while Gornja Mirca is a typical Mediterranean village with rustic stone houses.
Here you will find fantastic opportunities for a calm family holiday away from the noise and in an environment of untouched nature. The village is surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and orchards. Special charm in spring is given by almond trees when the whole village is white because of their flowers.
If you are looking for the perfect place to relax, and eat fresh local food and homemade wine, look no further - Mirca is the right place for you.
