Stara Novalja, island Pag, Croatia
Stara Novalja is a village in the cove of the same name in the north-eastern part of the island of Pag, 5 kilometers
north of Novalja in Croatia. Economy is based on farming, wine culture, fishing and tourism. The cove of Stara Novalja is
the submerged part of the "Pasko-Dinjiska" valley. The safest dock for larger ships is located south of the cove called
"Drljanda", where the depth reaches 27-38 meters. Smaller ships and yachts drawing up to 3.5 meters are docked along
the external part of the jointed pier (in front of the village). Stara Novalja is located on the road "M29". In its vicinity are
remains of antique walls, a late antique necropolis, ruins of the pre-Romanesque church of the Holy Cross. Since the ferry
harbor was relocated to "Zigljen" (except in some extraordinary weather conditions), Stara Novalja has become a quiet
place which offers accommodation facilities in private homes, as well as lodging and boarding services. As such it is
preferred by families. The major event is the feast day of Saints Peter and Paul (29th of June).
