The settlement was first mentioned in the 15th century, but the area's history dates back to the Roman Empire, whose traces can be found next to the local cemetery and in the remains of the early Christian Basilica of Saint Peter and its amazing mosaic located next to the Parish church.
Supetar is known for its numerous beaches extending from the city's very centre. The beaches are rich in facilities for families with children and young people looking for fun. There are also a few hidden bays where you can find peace and privacy.
Throughout the year, Supetar is well connected to the mainland by ferries, which take people and cars more than 10 times a day for an hour across the Brač Channel. In summer, when it gets crowded, ferries constantly run, so you never wait too long to board.
Supetar will leave you with the impression of a true small Mediterranean town, peaceful yet full of life on its streets.
