Sailing Holidays in Povljana
Povljana is a small settlement in the south of the island of Pag, located in a large bay, which enables a very good natural position because it is very well protected from the winds. The town is located on a hill that offers a beautiful view of the sea and islands. Given the very fertile ground, people have in the past engaged in agriculture, fishing and animal breeding.
The area is covered with vineyards and the tradition of vine cultivation is preserved even today. However, the settlement progressed and today tourism is rapidly developing. As a first form of tourism there was hunting, and for proof we have the remains of one noble house that was visited by hunters from all over Europe. Today you can enjoy the beautiful beaches, clean sea and beautiful nature. The area is ideal for those who want to find peace and rest.
For those who actively want to spend their vacation, a great variety of sports is on offer. You can go on cycling tours around the island, sports walking or simply go for a stroll and explore the island. For those who love water sports, they can engage in diving, fishing or surfing.
