The island of Pag is one of the biggest Adriatic islands with its 270 km of sand and stone shore full of capes and gulfs. The island is long, low and rocky. The scarce flora consists mainly of low plants and grass. The climate is mediterranian.
 "Mesto Pag")
Town of Pag is situated on the south-west of the island and it can be seen from the main road from Žigljen/Novalja.
Town of Pag has moved several times in history. Until the end of the 4th century A.D. the town (then named Caska) was situated on the north-west of the Gulf of Pag. The town sank into the sea during an earthquake and people built a new town on the area, today known as Stari grad ("the old town").
The town as we know today was established in the middle ages on the area once known as the Katena bay ("the chain bay"). The town is full of cultural and arhitectural monuments and sights from that era. Some of them are shown below.
