Pag with its bare, pale-pink hills, a landscape as silent and magical as any desert, is unique among the green-sloped Dalmatian islands.

It was stripped of its forests by the Venetian Republic, to provide timbers for their galleons. Today, beaten by the harsh bura (northeast wind), it's linked to the mainland by a road bridge. Drive through the rocky moonscape to see hardy sheep grazing wild rosemary, and dine on Paški sir (Pag sheep's cheese) and juicy roast lamb. Through summer, suntanned revelers attend electronic music festivals at Zrće beach, and holidaymakers visit Pag Town with its salt pans and lace makers.

Local tip: Book the one-of-a-kind culinary experience in the famous Croatian cheese factory, Gligora in Kolan. It is a wonderful opportunity to get insights into the world-renowned Pag cheese.
