BASIC INFORMATION AND LOCATION

Rogač is a town on the island of Šolta, in the Split-Dalmatia County, with about 100 permanent residents. It is located on the northern side of the island. It is the main port on the island and is connected by ferry and catamaran lines to Split several times a day. It is 9 Nm from Split, or an hour's ferry ride or a 30-minute catamaran ride. It is connected to the rest of the island by bus lines and taxi.

CULTURE, HISTORY AND ATTRACTIONS

Rogač is the oldest coastal settlement on the island. The population has always stagnated, regardless of its proximity to Split. It has been reliably inhabited since Roman times. The remains of an ancient Roman farm building have been found in the Banje bay, and ancient walls have also been found in the sea on the other side of the bay. There are findings of a villa rusticae from the 3rd/4th century, which also had a bathroom.

BEACHES

Among the beaches, the local coves of Banje, Kašjun and Žustovo should be mentioned.

You can find the flavors of Dalmatian cuisine in the restaurants Pjero, Stara kuća, Komin, and on the family farm Kaštelanac. Also visit the Šolta tavern or the Pasarela pizzeria. Rogač is a quiet place, as is the entire island. Suitable for a family vacation, so those looking for a night out will have to go across the sea to Split.
