Pag Island – Island of Salt, Cheese and the Lace Pag Island is the fifth largest island in the Adriatic Sea. Pag Island is known for its poor coverage of vegetation and it is often compared to the moon surface. Rocky landscape with a few stalks of aromatic herbs that graze sheep creates a little bit spooky feeling. The biggest bay of Pag Island is rounded by 20 km of pebble beaches. Pag is the largest kingdom of rocky ground where thin grass, low aromatic herbs, sage and immortelle grow. This herb is essential in the diet of sheep on the rocky ground, giving a special taste of the famous cheese. Pag Island offers unusual shapes, wild exoticism, gentle oasis, hiking trails and shallow bays.

All over the town you can see beautifully carved doorposts on the entrances of the noblemen’s houses and yards, small baroque balconies, stone coats of arms from the 15th to the 18th century and a magnificent portal on the Rector’s Palace. This well-preserved medieval city whose centre is the culture monument, even today serves as the administrative, cultural and commercial centre. The town of Pag is rich in cultural and historical monuments. The most important are the Congregation Church of Mary’s Assumption, the Rector’s Palace and Tower Skrivanat – the only one remaining of nine towers that are along the defensive walls, once surrounded the town. Town Novalja Novalja is the tourist centre of the island. It developed into a bay on the north-western part of the Pag Island. It is especially attractive because of its beautiful sand and pebble beaches. The must-see in Novalja is Roman aqueduct or the City Museum in Novalja where is one of the most interesting cultural institutions. The museum is located inside of the entrance to the underground water supply (Italian buza) from ancient times. It was built in the 1st century BC.

Pag Triangle Just a few kilometres from Novalja is a natural phenomenon, the imprint in the midst of sharp rocks known as “Pag triangle”. Till this day isn’t scientifically explained. If you visit this place from place Vidalici it requires skill in walking on the rocks because of the lack of beaten path. Another approach is from the road to the ferry port Zigljen.

What to do in Pag Island Cycling The island of Pag is the perfect island for all ages and levels of cyclists, but most of because of its length, indentation, and unlike most of the islands, because of their relatively lowland configuration. For fans of road cycling is available a large number of kilometers of asphalted roads. The landscapes are really beautiful, a settlement house or refreshments are frequent. “Off-road” and “mountain bike” paths are well marked and even more amazing with landscapes that pass, and refreshments in the form of a swim in the clear sea is almost always available. For the less ambitious or families with children, we recommend short trips to nearby beaches. Certainly do not forget to take more than enough water with you. Hiking Lovers of mountain climbing can enjoy climbing to the steep part of St Vid and rocks above the beach Rucica on the northwest side of Pag bay. In those places are special marks for rock climbing. In certain areas of the island the rocks are highly lifted because of exposure to the north wind (bora), and have unusual shapes. Surfing Studies have shown that winds blow 350 days a year on Pag Island. In the summer, during the day alternates several winds: about three o’clock in the afternoon blowing light wind known as the mistral which is suitable for surfing, especially for those who are not fond of fast rides and stunts. Scuba Diving The Pag bay is suitable and safe for diving, especially in shallow and central parts of the bay. Sea currencies are not strong and there are no large fluctuations in the temperature of the sea. Sightseeing along the shore is a special experience to anyone who is engaged in diving, because the underwater landscape is very interesting. Zrce Beach Party The uniqueness on this beach are clubs Papaya, Calypso and Aquarius where the fun lasts continuously, and for music are in charge most famous D.J. Performances on Zrce beach became a matter of prestige and confirmation of quality. Gastronomy The particularity of Pag cheese is its hardness and salinity, and specific aroma and flavor that give it its essential oils. Pag lamb is the best through January, February and March. Its specificity is extremely soft and delicious meat from the lambs in which every gourmand can enjoy. Pag’s prosciutto is considered to be the highest quality; the prosciutto is salted with domestic salt and dried to a strong winter storm.
