Island Pag

ISLAND PAG
The island of Pag with its 63 km length is the second longest in the entire Adriatic.  Its coast is richly arranged (altogether 269 km in circumference) and full of beautiful gravel and sandy beaches.
The part of the island facing towards the Velebit Mountain, being subject to the wind of bora, does not have any vegetation and as a result this side resembles a moonscape. Since 1970 the island has been connected by a bridge with the mainland. Due to the stony land, the viticulture on the island is not very high, but the quality of the locally-produced wine is excellent ("Žuica "wine). Besides the cultivation of olives, there are some reputable specialties like honey, lamb meat and the sheep’s cheese. Pag cheese is fat-rich and known all over the world and the lamb ranks among the best in Croatia. The secret of the meat, milk and honey quality is in the aromatic herbs which grow on the island under the salty sea air.
PAG
The town of Pag was mentioned for the first time in the X century. The church of Saint Maria was built in the year 1192 and still dominates in the area of the old part of town. During the time of King Bela IV the city of Pag obtained the status of a free city and still today the kink’s original seal is preserved, on a printed stamp dated 30 March 1244. Tourism started to develop gradually from the beginning of the 1960’s. Further cultural monuments worth seeing are the courthouse, the bishop’s palace, St. George’s church, the Franciscan church, the church of Saint Magdalene and others. The famous lace of Pag comes from the southern part of the Mediterranean. Its characteristic detail distinguishes it from others. It is made without samples or prototypes and reflects, in its designs, the life and traditions of the region. You will be able to acquire lace directly from the women in Pag, who sew in the summer time in front of their houses. Many families from Pag still retain this ancient traditional custom inherited from their grandfathers or recreated on the basis of ancient models. The dresses are of great value and demonstrate how important the tradition is for the island people. The custom was born during the Venetian domination and still maintains today its traditional design.
Note: In Stara Novalja is the "Fast Food" restaurant Boškinac with a traditional wine cellar. Beyond its artistic beauties and culinary specialties, the island offers also an active night life, on the beach at "Zrce" and nearby Novalja, with entertainment for young people, day and night! Cyclists and lovers of the mountain will also find this to be their ideal place.
