Beautiful sandy beach Kostanj where we will swim and sunbathe on a boat.
The island Ošljak is the smallest permanently inhabited island of the Adriatic with 29 inhabitants and an area of 0,39 km2. It is only half a nautical mile away from Preko. Ošljak is an example of traditional Mediterranean architecture, with an old fishing port and the Church of St. Mary from the 6th century. The hiking trail on the island is two kilometers long, passing by a lighthouse and the remains of windmills – mills from the 16th century. In 1985, Ošljak was declared a forest park.
Ugljan is one of the most picturesque islands in the Zadar archipelago, located opposite Zadar, from which it is separated by only a few nautical miles wide Zadar canal. This ever-green island, covered with olive groves, idyllic bays, and picturesque small fishing ports, for generations, has been tied to the sea, seafaring, and fishing, and more than 2000 years of olive cultivation have left thousands of olive trees yielding an oil of exceptional quality and aroma. Along the eastern side of the island, there are fishing and tourist settlements in natural bays, the most famous of which are Preko, Ugljan, Kali, and Kukljica.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! I am happy you liked this tour and the local products. Sunny greetings from the island!
We had an amazing time with Luka! We swam in two spots - one was a very sandy beach with almost no one else around. He dropped us at Osljak Island and we walked the whole perimeter in about 30 minutes. Then we swam briefly there and had lunch at Srdela Snack in Kali, which is Luka’s favorite. He ordered us lots of fish to try! It was a great day!
Thank you very much for your review! I am glad I managed to convey how locals live on the islands. Greetings from Luka!
Luka was amazing. Swimming at the best spots and lunch at the best local fishing village was very memorable. He is a great guide. Highly recommended. Just tell him what you want to do. That’s what locals are all about. 👍👍
