The island of
Ugljan (52 km2 and 75 km of irregular coastline) lies just opposite
to Zadar, divided only by several nautical miles of the Zadar Channel.
It is covered by evergreen pine forests, macchia, fig
trees,vineyards and olive groves. It has been tied to the sea, sailing
and fishing for years,while its 2,000 years of experience in olive-
growing has left hundreds of thousands of olive trees. Oils of exceptional
quality and fine aromas are produced from these olives. Those who
love Mediterranean landscapes will relish its unforgettable panoramas;
one of the most impressive can be seen from the Venetian fortress
of St. Michael (13th century ).Artifacts from the Roman era, early
medieval Croatian chapels, monasteries, island stone architecture
and numerous villas testify to the early human habitation of this
island. Over 2,500 hours of sunshine annually, stone and sandy beaches,
a clean and crystal-clear sea, various possibilities for accommodation,
original cuisine and good ferry-line connections with Zadar and Biograd
are only a few reasons to visit and stay on this island.
