The town of Pag
Tourism
Pag – a town on the island of
surprises. Natural resources and a rich offer are the reason why hundreds of
thousands of tourists from all over the world have been coming to Pag every
summer. Pag hosted tourists from Central and Western
Europe as early as the beginning of the 20th century.
Tourism
began to develop intensively in 1968 after Pag Bridge
had been built, connecting the island with mainland and the Zagreb-Split
motorway. The town of Pag
offers numerous surprises and beauty, which every guest will remember with joy
for a long time.
Gastronomy
Traditionally,
the people of Pag have engaged in sheep-breeding, fishing, and one of the most
significant industries is production of salt. Quality salt obtained naturally
from the clear sea has been a trademark of the town of Pag for centuries. A quality, highly esteemed
sheep cheese is produced in the town of Pag. Along
with the Pag cheese, you can try the delicious Pag lamb, white wine, travarica
(herb brandy) and homemade prosecco. You can buy fresh fish, crabs and
seashells at the fish market, and try fish delicacies in restaurants. In the
Benedictine convent of St. Margaret they make baškotin, a hard roll - the
secret of its production is kept inside the convent. The extremely healing sage
honey, made on family estates, is also renowned.
Tradition
The
town of Pag has
a rich folklore heritage. The Pag folk costume is of beautiful colors and
shapes, and the ladies' head cover hemmed with Pag lace is particularly
attractive.
Pag
lace is the most beautiful autochthonous souvenir – it is made by sewing and
used as an independent ornament or part of clothing.
The
central part of summer is marked by the Summer Pag Carnival, when the town
brass band plays the traditional Pag wheel-dance on Petar Krešimir IV Square, a masquerade is
held, folk chants are sung, and a folk play Robinja (Slave) is performed. The
biggest religious holiday in Pag is Assumption of Virgin Mary on August 15th,
celebrated by an official procession.
