Stara Novalja: Pag - Coast Novalja
Among the places of Lika-Senj County, Stara Novalja stands out for its sheltered bay on the northern coast of Pag Island. This small settlement faces the Adriatic Sea, where the indented shoreline and mooring areas shape its maritime character. Pag is one of Croatia’s most distinctive islands: exposed limestone terrain contrasts with protected coves and coastal settlements. The island is internationally associated with Paški sir, a sheep’s-milk cheese made from the milk of Pag sheep, whose grazing lands are influenced by the dry, salt-laden environment. Stara Novalja is a quieter counterpoint to the larger town of Novalja farther south, while remaining connected to Pag’s seafaring and pastoral traditions.

Stara Novalja has served as a coastal settlement on the island of Pag, off Croatia’s northern Adriatic coast, since antiquity. It occupies the sheltered Stara Novalja Bay, where clear sea meets Pag’s pale limestone terrain and low, windswept hills. This quieter side of the island is associated with small coves, boating and the traditional rhythms of fishing and olive growing. Across Pag, dry-stone walls record generations of work on a demanding, water-scarce landscape, while the island is widely known for its sheep’s cheese and salt-making heritage.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
