🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation

Brač Airport (BWK), also known as Bol Airport, is a charming and efficient international facility located on the island of Brač in Croatia. Situated near the town of Gornji Humac and only a short distance from the famous Zlatni Rat beach in Bol, it is the youngest commercial airport in Croatia, having opened in 1992. The airport primarily serves as a seasonal hub for charter and domestic flights during the summer months, providing a convenient alternative to the ferry-heavy journey from Split for tourists visiting the Dalmatian islands. The single terminal building, established in 2007, is compact and designed for quick passenger processing. Within the terminal, travelers can find a cozy cafe offering local pastries, sandwiches, and a variety of beverages, along with a small duty-free and souvenir shop featuring Croatian delicacies and gifts. While there are no dedicated VIP lounges, the terminal provides a comfortable waiting area with a dedicated play space for children, ensuring a pleasant pre-flight experience for families and leisure travelers alike. Operational capabilities at BWK have significantly improved following a runway extension to 1,760 meters, allowing the airport to accommodate larger aircraft like the Airbus A319 and Embraer 190. Facilities include a help desk, on-site ticket counter, and free outdoor parking with 24-hour video surveillance. While there is no organized public bus service directly from the terminal, taxis and pre-booked transfers are readily available to transport passengers to Bol, Supetar, and other major island destinations.

💡 Connection Tips

Connecting through Brač Airport (BWK) is a uniquely seasonal experience, as the airport primarily operates from May to October to serve the peak Dalmatian summer tourism. For travelers heading to the world-famous Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) beach, the airport is located on a plateau approximately 14 km from Bol. A taxi or private transfer is the most reliable onward 'connection,' taking 20-30 minutes and costing between €35–€50. During peak months, seasonal shuttle buses often synchronize with scheduled flights from Zagreb or Vienna, providing a more economical alternative. It is highly recommended to book all transfers in advance during July and August to avoid long waits. Bol serves as a major hub for island-hopping, and your airport arrival can be seamlessly connected to the broader Adriatic via catamarans. Daily fast ferries operated by Krilo and Jadrolinija link Bol directly to Hvar Town, Korčula, and Dubrovnik, allowing you to bypass the mainland entirely. If you cannot find a direct flight to BWK, flying into Split (SPU) and taking a direct speedboat transfer (45-50 minutes) to Bol is a common alternative. For those wishing to explore the island’s interior, such as the historic village of Škrip or the panoramic views from Vidova Gora, car rentals are available on-site but should be reserved weeks in advance. If your travel requires a car ferry back to the mainland, you must connect from Bol to the ports of Supetar (for Split) or Sumartin (for Makarska) via local bus or taxi, which takes roughly 45-60 minutes. As one of the highest airports in Croatia, BWK offers spectacular aerial views of the surrounding archipelago, so be sure to secure a window seat for your arrival.
