Sutivan is a small harbour village on the north-west coast of Brač, about 15 minutes by car from Supetar. Stone houses and churches line its waterfront, with pebble beaches stretching west along the coast.
Why visit

It is a good base for cycling, with paths along the coast, and for diving in the clear water around the village.
Where to stay
Stay near the harbour for restaurants and an evening walk, or along the beaches west of the village for a quieter holiday.
