Savar

The settlement Savar is located in a quiet bay with a view of the nearby island of Iž. Savar owes its particular charm and idyllic beauty to the small islet that is connected with the mainland by an embankment. On the islet is also the picturesque pre-Romanesque Church of St. Pelegrin from the 9th century. The coast is lined with family houses and apartments where you can find comfortable accommodation. With crystal clear sea, intoxicating scents of pine and medicinal Mediterranean herbs, Savar is a perfect place for a relaxing and peaceful vacation. Those of a more restless spirit can peek into the cave Strašna peć that is nearby and was even visited by Emperor Francis Joseph. Legend has it that it was excavated by fairies wanting to divide the island into two parts. On Dugi Otok do not miss to take a dip at the exotic beach Sakarun and visit the Nature Park Telašćica and the Kornati National Park.
