A Day Trip to Pig Island: Exploring the Tranquil Beauty of Pog

Good morning, everyone! It's another beautiful, hot, sunny day in Zadar, Croatia. Today, our adventurers are embarking on a day trip to Pig Island, also known as Pog. The decision to visit Pog was based on recommendations from other travelers who described it as a ghost town with stunning beaches and scenery.

First Impressions of Pog

Upon arriving at Pog, our travelers notice that the island is more rural and less vegetated than the mainland. The landscape is drier and filled with less greenery and trees. However, this unique charm captivates them, and they instantly fall in love with the quaint and quiet atmosphere of Pog.

A Taste of Pog's Delicacies

After their journey, our adventurers head to a local restaurant called Genius, located by the main beach in Pog. They indulge in delicious dishes such as chicken risotto and lasagna Bolognese. The flavors of the food impress them, and they mention that the prices at Genius are affordable, making it an excellent choice for a meal in Pog.

Beach Bliss at Plaza Prosica

The main beach in Pog, Plaza Prosica, becomes the perfect spot for our travelers to relax and enjoy the scenic beauty of the island. The beach offers loungers made of concrete covered with towels, enhancing the comfort of the beach-goers. Our adventurers find themselves captivated by the stunning views of the nearby mountains, the deserted part of the island, and the town of Pog. They choose to spend a few hours here, appreciating the tranquil atmosphere and clear, seaweed-free waters.

A Refreshing Swim

The heat of the day prompts our adventurers to cool off with a swim in the crystal-clear waters of Pog. They take advantage of the idyllic beach location and enjoy a rejuvenating swim before continuing their exploration of the island.

Exploring Pog Town

Despite their original plan to explore more of the town and coastal areas, our travelers find themselves content with the beach and choose to spend the rest of their time there. They mention that it's low season in Pog, and many businesses, including souvenir shops and restaurants, are still preparing for the peak tourist season. However, they express their satisfaction with their decision to stay on the beach and make the most of the stunning surroundings.
