Like a mermaid enchanting over the centuries with its undying beauty, the island of Pag lures with its blend of old, new and simply surreal. Here, the beaches gained the Blue Flag for perfect conditions/plentiful amenities while the crystalline sea is known to hide the rainbow colors of the underwater world. Walking along paved streets once claimed by past cultures, you will notice that intrinsic features like sheep farming and salt production survive in antithesis to the neon hotspots of the contemporary world. Spoil your palate with the salty taste of Paski Sir and allow Pag to reveal all its mesmerizing mysteries!
Part of the Northern Dalmatian archipelago and the Kvarner Island Group, Pag is Croatia's fifth largest island. With a long coastline of over 300 kilometers (187 miles), the so-called ''jewel of the Adriatic'' is appreciated as a peaceful retreat for families as well as an entertainment magnet for party seekers. Accessible either by bridge or by ferry, this unspoiled terrain bordering clear waters contrasts between its East and West side. While the Eastern flank amazes through its barren picturesque beauty, the Western wing vibrates through its visited towns and villages.
Next to the unique surroundings and amazing recreational highlights, the island has a rich cultural heritage. Its history goes back to the Stone Age; the first time the Croats arrived here was in the seventh century. Even though several other cultures have occupied the island's territory leaving important signs of their conquests, Pag was mostly connected to its precious salt resources and its distinctively flavored Paski Sir.
