Kolan (island of Pag)

Kolan is a place in the interior of the Northern Dalmatian island of Pag that is connected to the mainland by Paski bridge and ferry lines that run several times daily. Kolan lies on a hilltop overlooking a fertile valley, 9 km south-east of Novalja. The nearest swimming beaches are 3 km away in the places of Simuni and Mandre. Kolan has retained its rich folklore heritage including traditional songs and crafts. Kolan is famous for its "konobas" (local restaurants) offering many Pag specialties: lamb, local wine and delicatessen Pag cheese. Locals sell their home grown vegetables, honey and wine. We recommend Kolan to people not interested only in swimming and suntanning but also in local traditions and gastronomy.
