Zadar Archipelago More than 300 islands make up the Zadar archipelago,
although only a handful are inhabited. Daily ferries run from the quayside
to the larger islands. Among the most visited are Dugi Otok, the largest
of the islands and a popular haunt of fishing enhtusiasts, and Ugljan
where many wealthy Zadar residents own properties, along with the smaller
islands of Pasman, Molat, Olib and Premuda. All offer relaxating coastal
or beach walks, while most have restaurants, historical sites to see
and opportunities for watersports.
