Though it’s the largest island off the coast of Zadar and easy to reach by ferry or catamaran, not too many people venture over to Dugi Otok. Named for its characteristic shape, Dugi Otok is 45 kilometers long and just 5 kilometers wide. An island of hidden coves, sheer cliffs, ancient ruins, and gorgeous white pebble beaches, it’s the perfect destination for travelers seeking unforgettable scenery and historical sites without the crowds.
