Preko: Zadarski prilaz - Ferry port Preko - Ošljak
Among the places of Zadar County, Preko stands out for being Ugljan’s principal ferry connection with Zadar. The settlement lines Ugljan’s eastern shore, facing the waters known as Zadarski prilaz and the small island of Ošljak, which lies between Ugljan and the mainland. Its port is part of the everyday maritime rhythm of the Zadar archipelago, where islands remain closely tied to the city by regular sea crossings. Just offshore, the islet of Galevac holds the Franciscan monastery of Our Lady of the Angels, founded in the 15th century. Stone houses, waterfront promenades and ferry infrastructure share a compact shoreline, giving Preko both an island character and a practical regional role.

Zadar County extends from the slopes of the Velebit range to the islands of the Zadar archipelago, encompassing a karst hinterland, a long Adriatic shore and scattered islands. Its county seat, Zadar, preserves a Roman Forum beside the early-medieval Church of St Donatus, one of the city’s defining monuments. Beyond the city, Paklenica National Park protects dramatic canyons on Velebit, while the Zrmanja River cuts through inland karst before reaching the sea. Ferries bind the coast to islands including Dugi Otok, Ugljan and Pašman, where olive growing, fishing and stone-built settlements remain part of local life.

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.
