About location

The beautiful tourist place of Turanj is located in the Pašman channel, close enough to major destinations, but also far enough away from noise and hustle. It is surrounded by an archipelago of as many as 16 islands and has a large promenade by the sea. The place got its name from the towers that were built to defend against Turkish attacks, which is a proof of the outlines of the ancient past.

For lovers of history, it is interesting to visit the archaeological site of Tukljača, the summer residence of de Soppe, the remains of the tower in Turnje, the remains of the Rogov manor and other interesting sites. Beautifully clean, clear sea with incredible beaches behind Banja, Croatia, Morovićka and Krča are abundant with fine sand and enable visitors to enjoy swimming and the smell of the sea and all the sea attractions.

Nature is incredibly beautiful, and it is interesting to visit the islet of Ričulj as a habitat for wild pigeons. The island of Galešnjak is heart-shaped, so it is called the island of love.

For lovers of gastronomy, it is important that in the town and its surroundings there are taverns and restaurants with the best food, local and fresh, and the famous Filipjanska cake should be highlighted.

For those who want sports activities, in addition to the possibility of long walks along the coast, there are also schools for sailing, water polo, tennis and others.

Visitors also enjoy various cultural events, and the beautiful flower festival and the festival of small Glagolitic musicians stand out.

Nearby are the world-famous cities of Zadar, Nin, Biograd na Moru and the national parks of Paklenica, Krka and Kornati, as well as the fairytale nature park Vrana Lake.

Turanj is a special place, with pleasant people, beautiful nature, spirit of history, clean sea, excellent food, proximity to important Dalmatian cities, and those who have come always come back.
