Blaca Hermitage

The place is nice and well preserved. A small kitten greets you near the waiting zone so prepare some food for him))) You have to wait for guided tour but not for too long. Payment 8 euro in cash only. The path to the monastery is quite challenging: you have to walk down around 20 minutes from parking. The road sometimes is quite steep and stones are quite big and some of them quite slippery. I have attached the photos. If the weather is sunny take a lot of water with you as you cannot buy it there (but you can buy some wine). If the weather is rainy please think again as some stones become very slippery while wet. And use hiking shoes with thick sole because even running shoes are not the best choice as you can feel every stone and it makes uncomfortable. The way back takes 30 minutes as it goes up. Also worth mentioning that road to the parking can be unpleasant for your car: the last 5 kilometers there is no asphalt or concrete, just stones. Usual city car will pass but with some scratches.

Really great hike, not so difficult, 40 minutes in one direction approximately. For me one of the top 3 places on Brač.

It was closed when I went by today, Saturday, February 1st, 2025, at 1 pm. Nonetheless, there was a black and white cat kind enough to greet me after I’d rang the bell. 😄 It’s a beautiful experience and a great place for contemplation during the offseason.

Great explanation in the Blaca Museum in English. We learned a lot about the place and how they ušed to live here. The way to the hermitage is a bit difficult but it is worth it.

8 eur for ~30 mins tour with guide in English, very interesting expositions. Requires 2km walk in a mountainy terrain, normal shoes recommended

Really great value tour and tasting for €6 per person. Guide very informative. Had the olive grappa to start then tasting at the end of various jams with yummy olive oil and bread. Great experience.

Definitely worth visiting! 30 minutes hiking (mostly downhill) to the place and a bit more on the way back. Have a good sneakers and plenty of water. You can buy a bottle of water at the monastery for 30 kn. There is no toilet at the monastery.

After 5kms by car (on a rocky, narrow road), you have to walk around 2,5km also in a rocky road until tou get to the monastery. It’s a beautiful place to visit. It costs 40kn to go inside for adults and 14kn for children under 14. It’s really beautiful. You can also go there by another road - you can go by boat and climb. No matter which way you choose, it takes around 30 min each way to get to the monastery that it’s amazingly well conserved. The monastery it’s opened every day from 9.00 till 17.00. They close 30 minutes from 13.30-14.00.
