Pag

Pag in North Dalmatia is the fifth-largest island in Croatia. Rocky and arid, it offers moon-like landscapes – sparse pastures with fragrant herbs, grazed by hardy sheep. This unique island is famed for its local culinary specialties: sheep cheese and roast lamb.

This town and Novalje are the two main settlements. Administratively, the island is divided into two counties, which is a bit confusing. Zadar County encompasses the south, including PagTown, while Lika-Senj County encompasses the north, including Novalje.
