| The
island of Ugljan is situated
across Zadar and a several NM
wide Zadar channel is the only
thing that
separates them. Many daily car-ferry
services connect the island
to the land.
It is characterized by the green
exuberant vegetation which is
why it
got the name “green island”.
It is covered
with thick macchia, pines, olives,
wine
grapes, figs as well as other
Mediterranean herbs whose aromas
you will smell the minute you
get on this island.

Through generations it is linked to the sea,
shipping and fishing industry, and through
tradition to olive growing, the island is
well known for its numerous olive trees that
give high quality olive oil with specific
aroma.
In natural coves of the island many fishing
and tourist towns and settlements have been
formed, such as: Preko, Kali, Kukljica, Ugljan,
Lukoran, Sutomišćica and Poljana.
Many coves, islands and a rich sea bed are
a true challenge and heaven for sport-fishermen
and divers. Extremely appealing areas of the
island are Velika and Mala Lamjana coves and
Sabuša at the end of the south-western part.
The inner part of the island is rocky but
accesible and it is criss-crossed with many
cycling paths suitable for cycling tours and
strolls, which nature and sport lovers like.
Beautiful panoramic views, landscapes that
will impress You especially the Venetian fort
St. Michael (13th century). Many remains from
the Roman times still bear witness to the
early existence of people in this area, as
well as early Croatian chapels, convents,
stone-architecture of the island as well as
numerous summer houses.
More than 2500 sunny hours per year, stony
and sandy beaches, crystal clear sea, many
possibilities of accommodation in apartments
and rooms, original home-made specialties
and especially very good car-ferry services
with Zadar and Biograd will make Your stay
on this island unforgettable.
