The island of Ugljan (52 km2 and 75
km of irregular coastline) lies just opposite to Zadar, divided only
by few nautical miles of the Zadar Channel. It is covered by pine forests,
macchia, fig trees, vineyards and olive groves. It has been related
to the sea, sailing and fishing for generations, while its 2,000 years
of tradition in olive-growing has left thousands of olive trees.
Oils of exceptional quality and finest aromas are produced from
these olives. Those who love Mediterranean landscapes will enjoy its
unforgettable panoramas; one of the most impressive can be seen from
the Venetian fortress of Sv.Mihovil ( 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.
Preko is situated in the central part of the island of Ugljan
only half an hour by ferry from Zadar. Its name in croatian means "opposite"
(preko = opposite, on the other side).
