Pag
Driving across the bridge to Pag feels like you are entering a different world. The landscape becomes barren and rocky, and you feel as if you are driving onto the moon. As you drive north, the landscape begins to change again, and you see groves of olive trees, and pastures full of sheep divided by ancient stacked stone walls. These walls are stacked like a puzzle so that they can stay put without mortar, and are used to divide property and corral the sheep. They are also used to protect the sheep from the strong winds that sweep over the island. If you keep driving to the northernmost tip of the island, you will find the Olive Gardens of Lun. The tiny town of Lun was founded in 1653, and the oldest olive trees here are approximately 1600 years old. Come at sunset, after all of the daily visitors have left, and walk through the olive trees down to the sea. As the sun sets and the air becomes still, you will be awarded with the most gorgeous light, untouched nature, and a serenity that will delight you. Pag cheese (Paški sir) gets its distinctive and wonderful flavor from the unique environment of Pag Island. The strong Bora winds (the same ones that we experiences while sailing in northern Croatia) whips the surface of the sea, spraying sea water all over the land. The sea salt residue allows wild herbs such as lavender, sage, rockrose and mint to thrive. The sheep graze on these wild herbs, which makes a unique, fatty milk. All of this helps make Paški sir the most delicious cheese you will ever taste.
