Milna

Milna is a coastal village and port on the western coast of the Croatian island of Brač, in Split-Dalmatia County. It sits along the island’s sheltered shoreline and serves as a hub for local fishing boats and visiting yachts. Milna is connected by road to Supetar, the island’s main ferry port, and to other settlements on Brač, providing access to mainland Croatia via regular ferry services from Split.

Historically, Milna has a maritime orientation, with a long tradition of fishing and seafaring. The town preserves traditional Dalmatian stone architecture and narrow streets that reflect its coastal character. Along the waterfront and within the surrounding hinterland, visitors can find historic chapels, local stone houses, and terraces that overlook the Adriatic Sea.

In modern times, Milna’s economy centers on fishing, small-scale agriculture, and tourism. The presence of a marina and port facilities supports boating and nautical tourism, while guest houses and taverns cater to visitors seeking a coastal stop on the Brač itinerary. The area is known for scenic views, clear waters, and easy access to nearby coves and islets, making it a popular option for day trips and relaxed stays.

Milna experiences a Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and mild winters. Seasonal tourism, particularly in summer, contributes to the town’s activity, culture, and local economy, while preserving its characteristic maritime atmosphere.
