Pag

Zadar / Kvarner · Croatia

Pag

Best time to visit · May to October; July and August for Zrće's nightlife, June and September for the quieter old town and beaches.

Pag island Croatia is one of the Adriatic’s most distinctive and multifaceted destinations — a 285-square-kilometre island of dramatic contrasts where lunar karst landscapes yield some of the Mediterranean’s finest artisan products. This is where the famous Pag cheese (Paški sir) is crafted from the milk of hardy indigenous sheep that graze on salt-kissed herbs, where delicate Pag lace UNESCO-recognised as an Intangible Cultural Heritage has been stitched by patient hands for over five centuries, and where the barren, wind-sculpted terrain gives way unexpectedly to Zrće beach — Croatia’s open-air electronic music capital. With 8,398 residents and a coastline stretching over 270 kilometres, Pag offers visiting sailors an extraordinary range of experiences, from meditative solitude to vibrant nightlife, all framed by one of the most surreal landscapes in the Mediterranean.
