Audio Guide of Gornje Selo

Gornje Selo is a village open 24 hours a day, as it has no restricted hours. To get there, take a ferry from Split to Rogač on Šolta with Jadrolinija (check schedules on their website), and then a local bus or taxi for about 10 km, which takes around 20 minutes.

Visiting Gornje Selo is completely free, as it is a village open to the public. You will only pay for the ferry from Split (around €5–10 round trip) and possible local transport or shopping expenses.

It is recommended to spend 1–2 hours exploring the village, the main church, and the nearby olive groves. If you include an olive oil or local wine tasting, it could extend to half a day.

Gornje Selo is an ancient village on Šolta with medieval roots, famous for the 16th-century Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and its centuries-old olive groves, which symbolize Croatian agricultural tradition. It represents the island’s rural essence, with vineyards and authentic Dalmatian architecture.

Spring (April–June) or autumn (September–October) are ideal because of the mild weather and fewer tourists. Visit early in the morning to enjoy panoramic views without crowds and with perfect light for photos.

The main access to the village is reasonable, but the cobbled streets and slopes make it challenging for wheelchairs. I recommend taking a taxi to the center and checking with local guides for adapted routes; there are no specific accessibility facilities.

Nearby you will find the port of Rogač (5 km) for ferries, the fortress of Maslinica (10 km) with beaches, and olive groves for tastings. Explore the island by bike or visit other beaches on Šolta such as Banje.

Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven paths, and bring water and sunscreen; try the local olive oil at cooperatives. Book the ferry in advance with Jadrolinija and combine your visit with an audio guide from IAudioguia to enrich the experience.
