Environment

The Ugljan island is the garden of the city of Zadar. The island, covered by pine trees, fig trees, vineyards and olive groves, received its name in connection with the abundance of aromatic oil, which has been extracted for over 2,000 years. Despite its island situation, Ugljan is almost a suburb of Zadar owing to its frequent travel connections. Only 30 minutes of travel with regular ferry lines separate the island from the city.

On Ugljan, a mild and healthy Mediterranean climate prevails, where the stillness of the sea changes with the favourable winds. The average air temperature from May to October is 22°c, 2,500 sun hours are registered annually and the summer brings mistral refreshment. Restaurants on the island offering local specialties.
