The picturesque town of Milna is located in Croatia, in the county of Split-Dalmatia. It can be found in a narrow bay on the western coast of Brač Island.
The town was known as early as in the ancient times; part of Roman emperor Diocletian’s battle fleet stationed in these waters. The first written record is from 1333. In the Venetian times, people used the name Valle di mille navi – “Bay of a thousand ships” – when referring to Milna. The Venetians ruled until 1797, and then Austrian troops marched in Dalmatia. In 1806, Brač Island (where Milna is also located) came under the dominion of the French, but the Austrians began to rule again following Napoleon’s defeat. Interestingly, a well-known sailing vessel called the “bracera” got its name from Brač Island in Milna. The town became part of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and then Yugoslavia in 1918, and it has been part of the Independent State of Croatia since 1991.
Until the middle of the 20th century, Milna was the most important port on Brač Island, and after they built the ferry port in Supetar, freight traffic was transferred there. The locals earn a living mostly from fishing, fish processing, olive production and tourism; there is a fish processing plant at the edge of the town, providing jobs for many people.
The holiday resort has a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers and mild winters. The average maximum temperature is 30° Celsius in August and 11° Celsius in January. Thanks to the ideal weather, we recommend visiting Milna anytime between May and October.
Famous sights in town include the St. Mary of the Assumption Church built-in 1783 with its two palm trees in the front. This is the highest building in Milna, so it is very easy to spot. You can see many decorative manors from the Venetian times in the port. It is also recommended to visit the Sutivan National Park located north of the town – it is a pleasant recreational opportunity for both kids and adults.
Are you looking for a nice lunch or dinner? The restaurant Bago near the port of Marina Vlaska is a perfect choice. We recommend that you try fresh fish, grilled octopus and steak here in the first place. Besides the family-like atmosphere, the restaurant is also known for its fast service. If you visit Milna, you won’t be disappointed by the restaurant called Navigara either. It can be found at the port ACI Marina Milna; they prepare some of their meals in an open kitchen setting.
If you are not a fan of popular beaches, Milna is a great choice. The tiny Hana is only 50 metres long and 3 metres wide. It has a sandy-pebbly beach; we recommend it for families with children. The surrounding trees provide a pleasant shade.
The sandy beach of the bay is surrounded by a thick pine forest, and the water has an amazing blue colour. As for sports, it is worth trying scuba-diving and sailing here. If you get hungry, you can choose from many restaurants nearby, offering Dalmatian specialties and a rich collection of fresh fish.
