The tradition of lace-making by needle-point has been nurtured in the town of Pag for centuries. Among the products of this special technique, Pag lace is the most valued and was thus registered in the UNESCO world heritage list in 2009.
The Gradac vista offers the most spectacular panoramic view of the core of Pag. Gradac is located by the road connecting Pag and Novalja.
A fishing village 15 minutes from Pag by car. A true oasis with a pristine, clear sea and a range of family homes and vacation houses to let. Miškovići offers a quiet vacation and lovely beaches suited for children. As for specialties: you can enjoy Pag’s lamb, the island’s renowned cheese and Pag’s famed Žutica wine.
The salt warehouses are structures in the monument category, situated opposite the town core at Prosika. They testify to utilitarian architecture of past times and the importance of salt production to Pag’s natives. The first three warehouses were built in the 17th century, while the other six were constructed during the second Austrian administration.
A small harbour in a naturally sheltered cove on the southern side of the island of Pag that exudes simplicity and authenticity.

DISCOVER THE WONDERS OF THE RENAISSANCE CITY OF LACE AND SALT, THE CITY WHERE THE ANCIENT AUSTRIANS, THE VENETIANS AND THE FRENCH HAD LEFT THEIR TRACES. TAKE A LOOK AT THE LONG AND RICH TRADITION OF THE ISLAND THAT HAS BEEN CHERISHED FOR CENTURIES: THE FAMOUS LACE THAT IS THE PEARL OF THE MEDITERRANEAN TEXTILE HANDICRAFTS, ROCKY LANDSCAPE THAT RESEMBLES A LUNAR LANDSCAPE AND THE “WHITE GOLD” OF THE TOWN OF PAG - SALT.
Following the trace of tradition, we start our tour at 09:00 by gathering on the old waterfront where there is an exhibition of salt production, which begins the story of our city. After the exhibition we will cross the bridge that connects us to the centre of the town and leads to the main square where the Mary’s Assumption Congregation Church and The Duke’s Palace are situated. Nowadays they are a place where a number of events is being held. In The Duke’s palace we will visit the Gallery of Pag lace which is the most wonderful pearl of the town. Then we will visit to the exhibition dedicated to Bartol Kaš ic, the father of Croatian grammar.
After that, we will visit The Mary’s Assumption Congregation Church and the exhibition Seven Centuries of Benedictine Nuns in Pag which includes tasting baš kotin, town’s unique edible souvenir. After the tasting, we will see the Tower Skrivanat and hear the story of the only
remaining tower out of nine, which used to protect the city from the attacks. Afterwards we will take a stroll to where we had started; where the transportation to the Old Town will wait for us so we can take the tour to St. Mary’s Church and the remains of the Franciscan monastery.
