Tourist info Ugljan - Preko
Preko is tourist town and municipality in the county of Zadar in Croatia. It is located on the northeastern coast of the island of Ugljan and has a population of 1500 inhabitants. Preko is the administrative center of the island of Ugljan which is named after the fact that is located right across from the historic city of Zadar. It is well connected with the mainland, from which runs the ferry line Zadar-Preko. The old parts of town are typical Dalmatian architecture, narrow cobbled streets and old country houses of Zadar noble families. Today, most of these houses offer quality and affordable accommodation in well-furnished apartments, rooms or entire houses. Beautiful sandy beach Jaz is the main beach in Preko where is the Blue Flag, a symbol of clean sea and good quality beaches. On the beach is a playground for beach volleyball, cafe bars and restaurants making it perfect for family holidays. Just 80 meters from the coast, there is a romantic island Galevac (islet), covered with dense Mediterranean vegetation and where there is a valuable historical monument - a Franciscan monastery from the 15th century. On the east side of town, near the ferry port, is another valuable monument - Romanesque church of Sv. John from the 11th century. Not far from the ferry port there is a small inhabited island Ošljak which you can visit and enjoy its peace and unspoiled nature. For all nature and active holiday lovers, we recommend a trip by bike or on foot to the fortress Sv. Michael, which is at the top of 265 meters high hill, 3 km away from the town. The fort offers a wonderful panoramic view of the entire Zadar archipelago and to the Kornati islands. The local culinary delights such as fresh fish, shellfish and mollusks, all splashed with homemade olive oil and wine can be enjoyed in several restaurants and taverns.
