Another gem of the Croatian coast is Croatia’s ‘Long Island’. Dugi Otok, which in English translates as ‘Long Island’, is the seventh-largest island in the Adriatic.
Located off the Dalmatian coast, west of Zadar. It derives its name from its distinctive shape – it is 44.5 km long by 4.8 km wide, with an area of 114 square kilometres.
The western coast is tall and rugged, and many of the towns are clustered on the eastern side, including Sali, the largest, Zaglav, Žman, Luka, Savar, Brbinj, Dragove, Božava, Soline, Verunić (Verona) and Veli Rat.
