Pisak, Coastal settlement in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia
Description
Pisak is a settlement on the Dalmatian coast situated between steep cliffs and pebble beaches with traditional stone houses overlooking the sea. Narrow paths wind between the buildings, connecting the village to the waterfront where boats are moored.
History
The settlement formed in the 19th century as a fishing port near the eastern tip of Brač Island. This location gave fishermen access to more distant waters and fishing grounds in the Adriatic.
Culture
The layout of stone houses clustered along the waterfront shows how generations of fishing families built their homes close to the sea for daily work. This arrangement reflects a way of life centered on the water that still shapes how the village feels today.
Practical
The village center offers grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee bars within walking distance, serving fresh seafood and Mediterranean cuisine. Summer months bring more visitors, so arriving by car early in the day provides better parking options and a more relaxed experience.
Did you know?
Southeast of the settlement lies Vruja Bay, where underwater springs from the Cetina River reach depths of 200 meters (656 feet). This rare underwater phenomenon creates unusual water conditions that attract diving enthusiasts exploring the area.
