💡 Tips
- Seek out the 1,600-year-old olive tree in the Botanical Reserve, officially one of the oldest in the world.
- Visit the olive groves before 10 AM to avoid the intense heat reflected by the white karst stones.
- Buy the 'wild olive' (divlja maslina) oil, which is unique to this specific northern tip of Pag island.
- Walk down to the small port of Tovarnele for a coffee with a great view of the nearby island of Rab.
- Bring plenty of water; while the ancient trees provide some shade, there are no facilities within the grove itself.

Water temperature…
Lun is one of the most unique destinations on Pag island. The Gardens of Lun house over 80,000 olive trees, some of which are more than 1,500 years old. These bizarre trees, shaped by wind and time, create an almost surreal landscape of stone and silver-green. A walk through the olive groves at sunset is an unforgettable experience. The village itself is quiet and preserves its original fishing and farming character. The surrounding beaches are pebbly and offer extremely clear water, well-suited for snorkeling. In local restaurants, one must try the famous Pag cheese (Paški sir) and the aromatic olive oil. From Lun, there is also a wonderful view of the neighboring islands of Rab and Cres. Access is via the scenic road along the island's ridge. Lun is a paradise for those seeking peace, photographers, and nature lovers. It is a place where the ancient history of the Mediterranean becomes directly tangible in the form of living monuments.
