Mystery of Dalmatian Island Pag Croatia

Pag Island is situated in Northern Dalmatia and is well known for its unique look, rather than typical Mediterranean scenery often found on other Croatian Islands. Pag is close to the City of Zadar and is connected with the coast by the Pag Bridge. Once you cross the miles long bridge, the sense of being somewhere utterly unique begins by driving into its bare, pale-pink hills, a landscape that much resemble of the one seen in a silent magic of a desert. Pag Island is situation approximately 70 km south of the city of Zadar. The history says that Venetian Republic stripped the forest from the island, so Pag suffered a complete deforestation. The forest is hard to regrow with frequently strong winter winds that area endures. Pag is populated mostly during the summer and autumn months by vacationers and second home owners. The magic is gone once the strong winter wind is back and Pag remains the hidden secret of Dalmatian coast.

During summer, Pag downtown is full of life, a miniature Renaissance capital build on salt and lace and crowded with tours, buses and visitors
