Tourist info Olib
Olib is an island belonging to the North Dalmatian group of islands near Silba, Premuda and several smaller uninhabited islands. It lies between the island of Pag and Silba. Olib is a very indented island with numerous bays, and the shores are shallow and sandy, very suitable for yachtsmen and swimmers. The central part of the island Olib is narrowed. On the west side of the island is the only settlement on the island bearing the same name - Olib. On the east side, there is the bay and port of Slatinica with the most beautiful sandy beach on the island. Olib has been inhabited since ancient times, however, in the 20th century it was affected by a large wave of depopulation, so most of its inhabitants moved out in search of a better life. In Olib today lives only 150 permanent residents. Olib administratively belongs to the city of Zadar to with which it is connected by ferry and catamaran line. Apart from Zadar, it is also connected with Mali Lošinj. The inhabitants of Olib were mainly engaged in agriculture and fisheries, but cultivated area today is largely neglected and the rest of the inhabitants live largely from tourism. Accommodation can be found only in apartments, rooms and holiday houses within private family accommodation. Olib is a quiet place for a quiet holiday, and because of peace and preserved authentic Mediterranean island atmosphere, it is primarily intended for lovers of silence and privacy. From locals, you can buy freshly caught fish, quality homemade olive oil, wine, and homemade cheese and enjoy authentic Dalmatian specialties. If you are a fan of sports and adventure, we recommend a tour of the whole island by bike to see all its hidden coves and beautiful sandy beaches. We invite you to discover this beautiful island and spend your vacation in peace, silence, and crystal clear Adriatic sea.
