THE ISLAND OF UGLJAN – Olive Island
Ugljan is one of the most picturesque islands in the Zadar archipelago.
It lies opposite Zadar from which it is divided by only the
few NM of the Zadar Channel. The surface of this eternally green
island is covered by olive groves, idyllic coves and colorful fishing
ports. It has been tied to the sea, seafaring and fishing for generations.
More than two thousand years of traditional olive processing
has left thousands of olive trees that offer oil of exceptional quality
and aroma.
Fishing and tourist localities extend along the eastern side of the
island, among which the most well-known are Preko, Kukljica, Kali
and Ugljan. The other side of the island is mainly uninhabited and
steep. Thanks to its coves, surrounding islands and a rich maritime
underworld it is a real challenge for diving and game fishing.
The wavy high plains of the inland are covered with around ten kilometers
of trekking and biking trails, leaving an unforgettable picture
of colors, odors and panorama to all passers-by.
Most of the inhabitants of the island, around 7,500, deal mainly
with olive growing, fishing and, of course, tourism.
The mild Mediterranean climate, the blue sea, rocky and sandy
beaches, tens of islands and islets in the proximity and memories of
times gone by make the fertile island of Ugljan all the more desirable
for sea and island lovers.
Geographical Cross-section View of the Island Ugljan lies parallel
to the near mainland, it extends in the northwest-southeast direction,
24 km in length and 3-4 km in width. The total surface area of
the island is 52 km², and the length of the coastline is somewhat
more than 70 km.
The island relief is exceptionally mountainous. It is made up of two
parallel mountain chains whose height is around 100 to 300 m
above sea-level. The mountainous high plains fill the central part
of the island and it is covered by a whole net of dry walls creating a
maze of trekking trails, a result of thousands of years of land clearing
in order to gain more surface area for olive groves.
The eastern side of the island descends gently towards the sea, and
all the localities have taken shelter in its coves. The opposite side is
mainly wild, steep and uninhabited.
Climate The island of Ugljan has all the characteristics of Mediterranean
climate with an average annual temperature of 16°, around
800 mm of rainfall and 2600 hours of sun annually.
Flora and Fauna The vegetation of the island is characterized by
Mediterranean flora. The typical island vegetation of black oak, pine
trees, cypresses and high bushes is, on most of the island, substituted
by Mediterranean cultivation dominated by olive and fig trees.
Nothing is more characteristic for the island scenery of Ugljan than
the thousands of olive trees. The archeological findings in Muline
confirm that the olive processing and oil production on the island
are more than 2000 years old.
The olive groves function as an eco system, attracting many songbirds
with their micro world. The ecologically clean submarine
world of the island of Ugljan, with some ten small islands belonging
to it, are the habitat of numerous types of fish, seashells, and corals,
a real place of discovery for divers.
History The island of Ugljan was inhabited already in the Younger
Stone Age. The first known name of the island comes from Plinius
who said: “Lissa is situated opposite Zadar.” In the Middle Ages the
island went by the name of St. Mihovil (St. Michael), while the current
name of Ugljan is of relatively new date. That name signifies
the main production of the island, olive oil. The Liburnians, an Illyrian
tribe, were the first known inhabitants of the island. In the 4 th
century B.C. they built settlements on mounts Celinjak, Kuranj and
Sv. Mihovil, and the remains can still be seen today. The Romans
colonized the island of Ugljan in the 1 st century B.C. The colonists
built family houses, villae rusticae, on the new Ugljan properties and
some ten of their remains are reminders of the period. The biggest
villas are on Gospodska gomila, towards Cape Supetar and Stivan in
Muline, where remains of a Roman mill and olive processing facilities
have been preserved.
In the early Middle Ages the Croats settled on the island leaving remains
of Early Croatian three-stand pattern stone decorations and
numerous toponyms. Most of the land on the island was owned by
Zadar municipality, and assigned to the use or ownership of the
most well-known noble families that built their homes – castles on
the island. In the Middle Ages Ugljan, as well as Zadar, fell under the
rule of the Venetian Republic. At the beginning of the 19 th century
it fell under French rule for a short period of time and then under
Austrian rule until the fall of the monarchy. In 1918 it became an
integral part of Croatia.

Gastronomy Light, low caloried, slightly seasoned – boiled – are
the characteristics of the island’s cuisine. Fresh or cooked vegetables,
a lot of fish and seafood seasoned with olive oil and wine
is the main food of an island dish. The longevity and slim figure of
the islanders is proof that what we introduce into our body is very
important.
Localities on the Island of Ugljan
Almost all the localities extend along the eastern side of the island,
situated in natural coves, while the southern side is uninhabited.
Southward itinerary: Preko – Kali – Kukljica – Island of Pašman
Preko is the road and administration center of the island of Ugljan,
situated, as the name states, opposite Zadar. Its old center consists
of typical Dalmatian architecture and numerous patrician family
summer houses. The best way to feel the Mediterranean atmosphere
is by walking along the quay or sipping a favorite drink on
one of the terraces with a view of the Zadar Channel. Preko is the
closest starting point for the excursion to St. Michael’s fortress (265
m above sea level). There is a three-km-long asphalted road that
leads to the fortress. The view from the fortress spreads over more
than 200 islands of the archipelago of Zadar and Kornati National
Park. Only about 80 m from Preko lies the idyllic islet of Galevac
(Školjić), covered with dense Mediterranean vegetation that shelters
the 15 th century valuable monastery of Franciscan friars of the
third order. Its sandy beach makes it a popular swimming sight. The
nearby cove rightfully carries the blue flag – a symbol of clear sea.
The 11 th century Romanesque church of St. John is situated on the
eastern side of the locality, near the ferryboat landing.
Kali is the most famous fishing locality on the Adriatic, known for its
fishermen that have proved their maritime skills on all world seas.
Two small ports full of fishing boats and fishermen mending their
nets on the piers give the locality a special feature. The old nucleus
with its narrow streets and stone houses built in the Dalmatian
style is situated on a hill from which spreads a magnificent view of
the surroundings, all towered by the bell tower of the church of St.
Lawrence, the patron of the place. Every year in August, the famous
“Fishermen’s Feast” takes place in his honor, a feast that best offers
the feeling of the Mediterranean spirit of the region.
Kukljica is situated near the Strait of Ždrelac and it can be called the
door to Telaščica Nature Park and Kornati National Park. The old nucleus
with its original examples of folk architecture is divided from
the tourist peninsula of “Zelena punta” by a large cove with a small
port always filled with fishing boats and wooden sail boats. The attractive
sandy beaches of Sabuša, Kostanj and Jelenica under the
shade of pine trees are situated on both sides of the locality. A valuable
monument is the 15 th century restored church of St. Jerome in
Kostanj Cove. Every year, on the feast of Our Lady of the Snow, celebrated
on August 5 th , an interesting procession of boats takes place
sailing from Kukljica to the church of Our Lady of the Snow in the
Strait of Ždrelac, where, according to tradition, 400 years earlier snow
fell on that midsummer day.
Westward itinerary: Preko – Poljana – Sutomišćica – Lukoran – Ugljan
Poljana is a docile locality in a cove bordered by the colorful peninsula
of St. Peter with a Romanesque 13 th century church that bears
the same name on one side, and a series of houses surrounded by
well-arranged gardens on the other side. Numerous wells with drinking
water and a greater number of sunshine hours is the reason for
which vegetables grow here throughout all four seasons of the year
and they are always freshly available at the marketplace in Zadar.
Sutomišćica is situated in a large and sheltered cove, a safe haven
for navigators. The cultivated gardens are proof of the diligent
hands of the local people. The rose hip must be emphasized here
for it matures in September, around the feast of the patroness of the
locality, Saint Euphemia. It is worthwhile to have a look at the 17 th
century Lantana family summer house (a family from Zadar).
Lukoran – Veli Lukoran is a place of hidden coves and beaches
where the pine trees touch the sea. There are summer houses
among which the most famous is that of the de Ponte family from
the 17 th century. It is said that Mali Lukoran had been place for resting
even in antiquity. Tradition says that the poet Petar Preradović,
enchanted and influenced by the sunrise of the island, wrote his
patriotic poem “Zora puca” (Dawn is Breaking).
Ugljan is the biggest locality on the island, in terms of space, and it has
a long-standing tourist tradition. The locality is situated on the northwestern
part of the island, along with some ten hamlets and numerous
gentle coves where Cinta is pointed out for its beauty. There are also
monuments from ancient history, villa rustica, a mausoleum of late antiquity,
remains of an Early Christian period basilica, and a 1 st century
building for oil processing in Muline Cove. All this is proof of early human
existence in this area. The Franciscan monastery of St. Jerome from
1430 is situated in a pinewood cape, right next to the sea. Bishop Šimun
Kožić Benja is buried in the monastery cloister. The newly restored Renaissance
castle Califi called “Brčić” is also part of the valuable heritage.
The island of Ošljak has a surface of 0.5 km², 2 km of coastline and only
half a NM distance from Preko. It is the smallest permanently inhabited
island on the Adriatic. It has a protected landscape where olives, pinewoods
and cypresses give shade to the rocky beaches. The old fishing
port with a church from the 5 th century is one of the most colorful places
in the whole Adriatic. The trekking trail around the island is 2 km long, it
passes by a lighthouse and the remains of an earlier windmill, and it is a
true delight for those who enjoy walking.
