📍 Croatia, Jakišnica, Pag Island

Peace that stays with you

A small fishing village, glamping with a view of the Adriatic and the oldest olive grove in Croatia. The northern part of Pag Island surprises with its tranquility and authenticity.

If you're looking for a Croatia that whispers rather than shouts — Jakišnica might be the perfect match.

This tiny fishing village on the north-west coast of Pag is a place where time slows down. You won’t find crowds or loud bars here. Instead, there's calm sea reflecting your thoughts, the scent of pines, and paths leading to hidden coves.

Pag — a surprising island

Pag is often associated with the party scene in Zrće and its lunar landscapes in the south. But the north tells a different story — stone houses, grazing sheep, ancient olive groves. And the sea? Still crystal clear, still mesmerizing.

Camping Olea — not your typical campsite

Perched on a cliff with sea views, you'll sleep to the scent of rosemary and the sound of cicadas. Choose between a pitch with a panoramic view or a modern air-conditioned mobile home with its own terrace. There's no loud entertainment — just peace, space, and a private path to a rocky beach.

Fresh food, cooked with care

The local taverns — even within Jakišnica itself — serve excellent, fresh fish and dishes prepared with attention to detail, far from tourist mass production. Even Camping Olea has a lovely restaurant offering delicious meals at fair prices.

What to keep in mind

Local stores may be a bit underwhelming. Fresh fruit and vegetables can be hard to come by, and the selection is limited. Most shops close by 2 PM, and fresh bread is mainly available in the morning — unless you're at a campsite with its own shop.

Still, all this fits into the local rhythm — slow, calm, and close to nature.

Surprisingly good internet

Good news for remote workers — internet speeds are solid and stable. If you're dreaming of working remotely with a sea view, surrounded by pine trees and cicadas, this place delivers.

Who is it for?

For those who love a quieter side of Croatia. For families looking to unwind, for couples in search of charm, and for anyone who values simplicity — with great food and reliable internet on top.
