Adventure on Islands and lagoons

Along with a plethora of beautiful sandy and rocky beaches, Ugljan also offers a rich gastronomic selection in several local taverns and restaurants.

The old parts of the town abound in typical Dalmatian architecture, narrow stone streets, and old country houses of Zadar noble families. Today, most of these houses offer quality and affordable accommodation in well-appointed apartments, rooms, or entire holiday homes. The beautiful sandy Jaz beach is the main beach in Preko, proudly flying the Blue Flag, a symbol of clean sea and a well-maintained beach. The beach complex includes a sand volleyball court, a children's playground, and catering facilities, making it perfect for a pleasant family holiday. Just 80 m from the coast of Preko lies the romantic island of Galevac (Školjić), covered with lush Mediterranean vegetation and home to a valuable historical monument – a Franciscan monastery from the 15th century.
