About Mandre
Mandre is a small village in a sheltered bay on the island of Pag, looking out to the open sea and the islets of Maun and Škrda. It has around 400 permanent residents, and its row of family houses is surrounded by pine woods, carob trees and dry stone walls.
The village grew out of a fishing harbour and is known today for family holidays and quiet beaches. From Mandre the rest of the island is easy to explore — Kolan with its cheese dairies, the town of Pag with its salt pans and Salt Museum, and the workshops of Pag lace.
Good to know
One of the youngest villages on Pag
Until 1991 Mandre was the fishing harbour of Kolan, a village inland. As more people from Kolan turned to fishing, Mandre grew and was then separated as a village of its own.
Most beautiful place in Zadar County
In 2003 Mandre was named the most beautiful place in the county in the „Cvit za lipši svit" campaign. Mala Mandra beach flies the Blue Flag, the international mark for clean water.
Pag cheese is made in neighbouring Kolan
Kolan is the centre of Pag cheese production. It is made only from the milk of Pag sheep, which graze on sage and immortelle, with salt the wind carries in from the Velebit Channel.
