| After
You settle down in the comfortable
rooms of Villa Olea, it is Your
turn to check all that You have
only heard about Island of Pag
so far. You have certainly heard
that Pag, except for its hot
stones and emerald blue sea,
is far known for its gastronomic
specialties, such as cheese,
the secret of which lies in
Pag's climate and the special
processing technology; olive
oil is poured over ewe's milk
while curdling, which gives
the cheese its unique fragrance
and taste.
Besides the well known lamb
and prosciutto (smoked ham),
You will have to try at least
one of 350 species of edible
Adriatic fish prepared on grill
or á la buzara (a specific type
of stew), olives and olive oil,
the healthiest bees honey -
obtained from Garden sage-medicinal
herb, various racy wines...
But, not everything is in food
and drinks - this is proven
by the hundred years tradition
of working the unique Pag lace,
which Pag women did as a pastime
while they were waiting for
their husbands to return from
fishing. There are also old
churches, remnants of walls,
narrow stone-paved streets,
unique remnants of the Roman
aqueduct carved in rocks as
early as the 1st century AD,
etc.
Of course, Island of Pag is
also abundant with "modern"
things; there are numerous restaurants,
wine-cellars, shops, souvenir
shops, open air disco clubs,
open-air movie theatres, an
entertainment park, tennis and
beach-volleyball grounds, water-slides,
rent-a-scooter, rent-a-bike,
rent-a-boat, rent-a-diving equipment,
boat excursions to the adjacent
islands.
