Šolta

• The island of Šolta is situated in the Adriatic Sea in the central Dalmatian archipelago, west of the island of Brač, south of Split  and east of the Drvenik islands.  A large karst field spreads in the island’s interior, cultivated with various crops. The highest peak of Šolta is the summit Vela Straža which is 238 metres high.

At the coast are bays with natural beaches.

Ferry ports are located at villages Rogac, Necujam, Stomorska.

The biggest bays at the north coast are Rogac and Necujam.

In the western part of the interior of Šolta there is a field approximately 6 km long and 2 km wide. The coves and inlets on the western coast are protected by the small offshore islets and cliffs; the Maslinica cove  represents a  anchoring ground and shelter for smaller yachts.

Bigger villages (Grohote, Gornje Selo, Srednje Selo, Donje Selo) are situated in the island’s interior.

The economy of the island is based on vineyards, olives, fruit, fishing and tourism. While the main settlements (Grohote, Gornje Selo, Srednje Selo, Donje Selo) are inland, the main fishing centre is Maslinica which is exposed to only north-westerly winds, making it a good shelter for smaller boats.

Rogač is the main port and Nečujam is the centre of the island’s tourism.

Today, Šolta remains as an oasis of untouched natural beauty.

The traditional way of life is still preserved. Come in Šolta and enjoy!!
