Pag Island, known as the "Croatian Ibiza," is a must-visit destination located approximately an hour's drive from Zadar. It stands out for its lunar landscapes, lively beaches, and local traditions.
The town of Pag is renowned for its artisanal products, especially the sheep cheese "Paški Sir," sea salt harvested since ancient times, and its white wine. Pag lace, a traditional craft inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list, can also be discovered while strolling through local shops.
During your visit, the cobblestone streets of Pag town will lead you to various historical landmarks such as the Church of the Assumption of Mary, Skrivanat Tower, and Katine Bridge. The island also offers other interesting sites such as the Roman ruins of Novalja, Maunski Bay in Mandre, and the picturesque port of Kosljun. These places allow you to delve into the island's rich history and culture while enjoying its natural beauty.
If nightlife is your preference, head to Zrće Beach, the party hub on the island. It's known for clubs like Euphoria, Papaya, and Noa Beach, which attract world-renowned DJs and tourists looking to have fun. However, if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, Simuni Beach and secluded coves in the northern part of the island offer crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and water sports.
For hiking enthusiasts, the Lun Nature Park, famous for its ancient olive trees, offers trails through arid landscapes with panoramic views of the Adriatic.
Pag Island is easily accessible from Zadar via a bridge connecting it to the mainland, and regular ferries provide magnificent views of the sea and the island's coasts.
With its blend of natural beauty, dynamic nightlife, and local traditions, Pag Island ensures a memorable experience during your stay at Camping Sènia Ugljan.
