IŽ

Iž is the island of fishermen, potters, and olive-growers.

It is covered in typical Mediterranean vegetation and it belongs to Zadar archipelago being only 14 miles away from Zadar.

Iž is the only Dalmatian island which kept the tradition of pottery.

Pans and pots made from characteristic island clay attract buyers with their specific forms. Every year in July the islanders celebrate the "Iška fešta" (Iž festivity) keeping the tradition from the Antique. During this time, visitors are welcomed to see traditional cloths and island dances, hear traditional songs, and taste domestic meals.

There is also the election of the king of Iž whose mandate lasts for one year.

Visiting the top of Korinjak hill will give your an excellent opportunity to see the whole island.

Ferry lines connect the island of Iž with Zadar and Long Island.
