Preko (island of Ugljan). Here you will have about 1 hour to explore the town, visit shops, enjoy the bars, restaurants and the beach. A fun fact about Preko is that it sits directly across from Zadar — and at its lowest point in history, you could actually walk across the sea to a nearby island! From here, we travel to the Island of Ošljak.

The beaches here are quiet, intimate, and perfect for swimming or snorkeling. A perfect spot to get your last dip in the sea. Fun fact: Ošljak is considered the smallest permanently inhabited island in Croatia — and one of the smallest in the entire Adriatic Sea.
