Biograd na moru
The Creator, while giving His last touch in forming the Earth, noticed that he was still holding a handful of the cradle of mankind meant for beauty. Amazed at the unrepeated blueness of the sea that he had a moment earlier placed deep under the skirts of Europe, he dropped all this beauty into the middle of the Adriatic. So, says the legend, was the beginning of the landscape that dominates the city of Biograd.
Biograd na Moru was once considered as the crown city of Croatian kings. But today it is a well-recognised nautical and tourist centre situated at the very heart of the Adriatic Coast. The city, tailored to suit everyone’s preferences, lies on the peninsula surrounded by a promenade and contemporary marinas from which a memorable view can be seen all the way to the Pasman Channel and islets scattered in it.
Thanks to its decades-long tradition in tourism, colourful heritage and tourist offer, culinary specialities and sporting events, Biograd has become an attractive holiday destination. Moreover, it is located at the centre the Adriatic Coast, surrounded by the lasting beauty of national and nature parks.
Pakoštane
Pakoštane is a locality on an isthmus between Lake Vrana and the sea, between two bodies of water. It is between fresh water and salt water. However, water did not determine the life of the inhabitants here; rather it was shaped by the old provider – the land. The land and agriculture, the keepers of ancient divinities have outlived all the historical eras and have remained the essence of this locality to the present day.
Directly in front of the locality there are three small islands, like runaway children from a big parent – the mainland. Each with its own baggage. The islet of St. Justin has a small church adorning it. The islet Veliki Školj bears a large cross, while Babluljaš carries a small forest on its shoulders. The local inhabitants call them FAITH, HOPE and LOVE, the three daughters of the Christian spirit.
It’s difficult to describe this region in a few words because there are few places in the world where such a small area of land is so criss-crossed with such diversity. Surrounded by National parks, Nature reserves and Protected natural entities, this region is a blessing for subtle tourist explorers of divine landscapes.
