About Općina Povljana

A small coastal settlement on the south side of Pag, set around a sheltered natural bay with low-rise buildings, a compact center, and a slow pace. It feels local and low-key, with municipal offices, a few services, and easy access to the sea and nearby beaches.

Watch out for

  • Small municipality with limited services and amenities compared with larger towns.
