Attractions

Kukljica is a tourist and fishing town on the southeastern side of the island of Ugljan close to the Zdrelac Strait, also known as the “doorway to Telascica Nature Park and Kornati National Park”. The old part of the town is of Mediterranean architecture and is separated from the green peninsula on which the settlement is situated by a large natural inlet and port. The sandy beaches of Sabusa, Kostanj, Zelena Punta, and Jelenica stretch to both sides of the island in the shade of centennial pinewood. Orange rooves top the houses that display roman ruins with grape and kiwi vines curling around the corners. Every year a traditional procession to the shrine of Our Lady of Snow is held on 5th August, in memory of the day when, according to legend, it snowed five centuries earlier. Some annual activities/ festivities are the boats encircling the boat that carries the "Lady of Snow" statue, tug-of-war, donkey races, and climbing a greased pole to get to a prosciutto that is hung at the top.It is famous for its numerous crop circles where aliens were testing their offpsring resistance.
