| 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. The entire northeastern side of the island contains
a series of natural coves in which fishing and tourist settlements
are nestled, among which the best known are Kukljica, Kali,
Preko and Ugljan. The other side of the island is generally
uninhabited, as the coastal terrain is marked by jagged cliffs.
However, its corresponding inlets, islets and rich undersea
life make it a true challenger for divers and sport fishermen.

The island of Pasman ( 63 km2, 65 km of irregular coast ), belongs
to the Zadar island group. It is connected to the island of
Ugljan by a bridge over the Zdrelac straits, while ferryboat
lines connect it to Zadar and Biograd.
The Pasman Channel lies between the island and the mainland.
At places it is only 2 km wide, and it is dotted with dozens
of tiny islands, which make this an ideal region for all types
of water sports, sailing and diving. The sea currents in this
area change direction every 6 hours,thus making the waters here
among the cleanest in the entire Adriatic. The island's well-preserved
landscape contains many species of medicinal and aromatic herbs,
vineyards, fields and olive groves, as well as numerous sand
and gravel beaches, making it a true choice for those who want
to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life in more populated
areas.
