Sumartin, Brač island, Croatia - DJI Pocket 3

Sumartin is a port village in Croatia on the island of Brač. It is the youngest village on the island of Brač and administratively belongs to Municipality of Selca. Village was founded on 11 November 1646 - the feast day of Saint Martin - by the refugees from the Dalmatian coast and Bosnia and Herzegovina who fled from the Ottomans.
Sumartin was established at the time of Cretan War (1645–69), also known as the War of Candia, in 1646. when a group of Franciscan friars accompanied by a number of refugees reached the easternmost tip of the island of Brač by boats as they were fleeing from Makarska Riviera due to Ottoman raids. The newly formed village was established around the already existing abandoned small church of St. Martin which had been previously damaged but repaired by the refugees upon their arrival.
Sumartin is a pretty laid back place – its chief occupations are wine growing, olive growing, fishing and tourism so it’s a pleasant place to be!
Sumartin is an easy place to relax for a week. It has plenty of beaches and some nice restaurants and it is also easy to get out and about to explore.
The trip from Makarska to Sumartin takes about 45 minutes by ferry.
