Despite the challenges, the island of Pag<\/a> is setting new tourist records this year as well. Namely, the medieval town of Pag is a tourist oasis on a stone island resembling the surface of the Moon<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the uncertain tourist season, it tries to attract guests with its traditional offer, but also with some new tourist trump cards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Vesna Karavani\u0107<\/strong>, the director of the Tourist Board of Pag town says that Pag is known as a beautiful Mediterranean place that has its own soul with a lot of cultural monuments that are available to visitors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The old town is the center of lacemaking<\/strong>, with a tradition of more than 6 centuries, for which the island of Pag is widely known.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pag lacemaker Ivanka Benzija <\/strong>reminds us that Pag lace is very interesting and everyone admires it. Pag lace is sewn without a template, from the head and it is never the same, each one is unique.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Apart from lace, Pag is increasingly recognized in the world as a quality destination for tasting cheese<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Martina Pernar \u0160kunca<\/strong>, a cheesemaker, points out that a Pag sheep eats grass from Pag pastures and that is what makes its milk, and thus cheese, special in every sense.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Pag<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pag cheese would not be what it is without the pure Pag sea salt <\/strong>that has been stored for centuries in stone warehouses not far from the city center. Today, the Salt Museum <\/strong>is located in these warehouses. Even today, the process of salt production here in Pag has not changed much.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Vesna Karavani\u0107 adds that for the island, which is also called the Moon Island<\/strong>, they have started to develop the Pag outdoor project<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, judging by the crowds on the narrow cobbled streets of Pag, the combination of traditional and new sports offers has obviously become irresistible to visitors this tourist season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From the island that needed to be torn down to the champion of the season<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In addition to about 5,000 permanent residents, Vir currently has about 22,000 tourists and holiday homeowners<\/strong>. They consider the season top-notch because they have already achieved 95% of the reference year 2019 so far<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The realized traffic is even higher than in the pre-pandemic seasons, and the island, which was once a term for illegal construction, is today one of the tourist records.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From cheap accommodation for 40 euros per apartment to 4-star apartments, which cost about 250 euros per night – booking is still great.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
