Excursions

The island of Pag abounds in natural beauty and the proximity of national parks also make it an attractive destination.
In our area, we most certainly advise you to visit the cheese production sites in Kolan in order to take with you a taste of Kolan in a piece of cheese that makes us famous around the world, while in the cheese factory Gligora you can also view the production process and eventually taste the cheeses. Furthermore, you must by all means climb the highest peak of the island of Pag, St. Vid, that is only an hour and 15 minutes away from Kolan if you take the path; you can also visit the ornithological reserve Kolanjsko blato, an important European bird habitat.
If you are an adventurer, a lover of one-day excursions to nearby islands, cruising in the Pag bay, like to party on the ships or if you wish to visit the nearby national parks, turn to our local tourist agencies who will select the best for you.
