About Drage

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.
