Pag Town is located in the center of the island and is also a very popular holiday destination. The town is surrounded by stunning beaches, incredible landscapes, and the town itself is filled with history and culture.
The town of Pag is actually the biggest town on the island but gives way to the much quieter and relaxed Pag Islands than that of its neighboring town, Novalja.
Pag is also famous for its local cheese and lace-making. If you visit Pag, you must check both of these out. There are museums and tours for both Pag cheese and lace. You are certainly in for a treat.
A number of shops also sell Pag lace products or you can easily find and buy this unique Pag Town Lace from one of the street-side sellers. It really is the perfect Pag Island souvenir.
The cheese is everywhere! And my word is it lovely!
