Pag

What to say about the island of Pag, that has not been said before? However, I can only say that every time I go there, impresses me its diversity and beauty.

This brief travelogue and a few photos describe mainly the central part of the island. Please do not think that the rest of the island is identical or similar to this part.



One of the bike paths that leads to my dear friend Velimir, to a small cove where are the excellent beach and shade in a small pine grove. There you can refresh yourself with a cold drink.

The beach is mostly empty, but still...

At this location, means south side of Pag, the one that overlooks the open sea, you might record one of the best sunsets you've ever took, you should definitely try..
Velimir terrace, close to the sea....

There are two ornithological areas, one in Kolansko blato and the other by Povljana. Who loves birds should visit these areas.

If you love peace and light holiday, Mandre is the place for you, especially in September. Nothing spectacular, but far from noisy streets, full of beautiful beaches.. I recommend a bike tour.

Beach in mandre at dusk and after bora, both photos are taken from the same position only the lens was different aimed, at first facing LoĊĦinj and than Vir.


Let there be no mistake, there are at Pag sites you should not miss, especially if you want to swim at the beach from the postcards. In this case, you'll need a little hike behind the Metajna village and there you are, heaven on earth.


It may be good get to know how difficult way of life is of people who live on the island all year round.  So I went to see how they feed the sheeps, from their milk is produced famous Pag cheese. Now I understand why the cheese so expensive it, Well, the sheep every day need to drink 4 liters of water and eat something green, which is almost impossible because this year specificaly in Mandre not rained since May. Otherwise,  for 1 kilogram of cheese takes 7 litres of milk, so it is now clear why the cheese is so expensive. After you try it, the price will no longer be relevant. You'll just ask if you can buy it.

Who in this place do not try fishing with local people does not know what he missed. I know Srdjan for 18 years and it is always a great pleasure to go with him to the sea.

Fishing nets are generally cast in the evening, an opportunity forhte photo at sunset...

And this is the reward after waiting all night and pulling up of net in the morning...

After the delicious dinner,  some wine and a view of the sea...

Breathtaking view of Pag from the nearby hill...
