New tourist programs in the open following epidemiological measures

To secure a pleasant and safe stay in Bol, the Bol Tourist Board, in cooperation with the general practitioner, Markica Tomić, M.D., provides COVID-19 rapid antigen tests starting from April 13, 2021.

Thanks to this option, the guests will have an opportunity to quickly determine whether their respiratory and other symptoms are covid-related or related to another respiratory infection.

Bol is the first island town in Split-Dalmatia County that has secured the provision of antigen testing. It is just another illustration of responsible and thoroughly planned strategies of BOL for the upcoming season. During April, the vast majority of the tourism workforces will undergo immunization. By the end of May, we expect that 50% of the local population will have also received COVID vaccines.

It used to be a gathering place of gentle fairies that would turn into witches during rough weather. Another favorite cycling trail leads through irresistible rosemary, sage, and lavender fields to Zlatni rat, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, hiding the Lucky stone – the fountain of eternal happiness and wellbeing.
