Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Pag
Pag is a strange, beautiful island, a long strip of bare grey limestone that looks like the surface of the moon, swept by the bura wind and stripped of most of its trees centuries ago. The town of Pag sits in the sheltered bay at the southern end, a neat grid of stone houses around a small harbour and a church square. It was planned in the fifteenth century by Juraj Dalmatinac, the master builder who also worked on Šibenik cathedral, and the regular streets show his ordered mind.
