The town is low-key in the best way: a baroque church oversized for its village, stone houses around the water, konobas grilling whatever came in that morning.

Despite the shared \u201cKrilo\u201d name these are two different companies with separate timetables and tickets \u2014 check which one you booked before you walk to the pier. Both fill up in July and August, and neither waits for a late flight. The direct option: a <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/es\/taxi-boat\/split-to-brac\/\">taxi boat from Split straight to Milna&#8217;s riva, ~35 minutes<\/a>, from \u20ac270 per boat, 24\/7 \u2014 or <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/es\/taxi-boat\/split-airport-to-brac\/\">~50 minutes gate-to-riva from the airport<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skipper&#8217;s tip:<\/strong> Milna is our favourite Bra\u010d drop-off in any weather \u2014 the bay entrance is forgiving when the channel is lively, and your luggage lands 50 metres from most apartments.

By kayak they&#8217;re a lazy hour&#8217;s paddle in sheltered water; every apartment host knows who rents them.<\/p>\n<p><!--de-exp-2026--><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_private-boat_option_to_Milna_2026\">The private-boat option to Milna (2026)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Milna&#8217;s deep, sheltered bay is one of the easiest harbours on Bra\u010d to reach by boat, and a private transfer from Split takes roughly 35 minutes (from around \u20ac270 per boat) \u2014 often faster and calmer than the car ferry to Supetar plus the drive across the island. We can drop you at the town quay or your villa&#8217;s jetty, which is why families with luggage and small kids tend to prefer it.
