About Drage
Drage: a quiet Adriatic base at the gate of Kornati
The Kornati Collection sits on the coast of Drage, exactly at 43.874858, 15.558969. From here the shore is a 5-minute walk, daily shopping is easy, and Biograd, Lake Vrana and boat trips toward Kornati are all within simple reach.
A small fishing village with a wide horizon
Drage is a Dalmatian village in the municipality of Pakoštane, between Biograd and Šibenik. The shore is pebbly, the water clears quickly, and the channel facing the islands and Kornati changes mood throughout the day. It is not a noisy city resort, but a place for a morning swim, a day trip, and a quiet terrace in the evening.
