Bol was voted Absolute Champion of Croatian Tourism on many occasions, last time in 2010, among more than 2000 contesting town and cities. But Bol is not about some of the most exquisite Adriatic beaches only. The little town (population ca. 1600) is dotted with small parks and numerous sculptures of local artists. The medieval town centre is not extensive, but, like everything else, it is spotlessly maintained. All neccessities are within easy reach. A visit to any of the seafood restaurants is a must – one can enjoy fresh delicacies on the very seashore. Quality local products include virgin olive oil and highly praised red wine, Bolski plavac. Bol has an average of 2600 sunshine hours a year and July sea temperature is usually around 25 degrees C. Daily breeze changes make air temperature quite enjoyable.

Brac Airport (14 km from Villa Tamara) has some seasonal charter connections to several European cities. Busy Split Airport is about 50 km away plus a 50 min ferry ride from Split to Supetar, Brac. Ferries are very frequent. Air taxi between the two airports can be arranged. There is also daily high speed passenger ferry from Split to Bol.
Other small towns on Brac, some with stunning traditional and medieval architecture are just a short drive away. The roads are excellent.

There is a variety of organized day excursions to Korcula, Mljet, Hvar, Vis and other beautiful nearby islands and towns – all boats leave from small Bol Harbour, which is five minutes walk from the villa. A Benedictine Monastery in Bol is also worth a visit, due to its remarkable collection of art work. A half day boat tour to nearby Blaca Hermitage (Pustinja Blaca, today a museum) is very popular.
