The Molat island is situated in the northern part of
Zadar's archipelago. It is connected to the coast (Zadar) with daily (only one)
line by ferry and this is usually the biggest problem to organize the holiday
on Molat. The peace, silence and necessary minimum of infrastructures (4
restaurants, 3 shops) guarantees an holiday far away from usual tourism.
There are 3 places on Molat: Molat, Brgulje and Zapuntel
connected with an road. It is recommended to bring an boat, even little, and
cruise around island discovering quiet bays and beaches.
Molat is an island in north Dalmatia, covered with maquis
and pine forests and is the ideal destination for hermits and those seeking
hiking treks among a Mediterranean vegetation. The many bays are a frequent
destination for sailors. The island is situated in the northern part of Zadar's
archipelago. It is southeast of the island of Ist, separated from it by the
Zapuntel strait; area 22.7 sq km; population 222. The relief is characterized
by two limestone ridges (the highest peak Knizak, 142 m), separated from each
other by the Zapuntel-Brgulje valley (Zapuntel Field); the Bay of Brgulje is
its south-eastern submerged part. A smaller transversal valley (Molat Field)
stretches in the south-eastern part of the island.
King Edward VIII, in the company of Wallis Simpson,
visited the island on his Adriatic cruises in 1939. In 1151 the island became
the property of the Zadar-based Benedictine monastery of St. Krsevan; from 1409
it was under the power of Venice, which leased it to several families from
Zadar.
