About Pag/Povljana
Povljana is the only settlement in its municipality, on the island of Pag and about 12 km southeast of Pag town. Fewer than 700 people live here, so expect a village rather than a resort. The shoreline nearby has steep slopes and small cliffs, and Pag is called the island of stone for the look of its surface. It is one of the sunniest islands in the Adriatic, with over 2,500 hours of sunshine a year. The homes sit close together around the village, mostly small and made for around four people. Nearly all have air conditioning, and a minority have a private pool. A village this size is quiet out of season, so check which shops and restaurants are open before you travel.
