Shaved barren by the gusts of bura wind which roll off the slopes of Velebit Mountain, the northern shores of Pag Island appear like a deserted moonscape. But look beyond and you’ll find millennial olive groves of Lun, taste famed sheep cheeses of Gligora, and enjoy an entirely unique face of Croatia.

The sea and the sky come together in a spectacular play of blues and greens in the heavenly lagoon on Budikovac Island. Just across from Milna, Budikovac is within easy reach from Vis.

Don’t expect to meet too many inhabitants, though, as only one person resides on the island full-time.
