Located between the wondrous islands of Dugi Otok and Ugljan, with less than 500 inhabitants and only 2 villages on the island, you can be certain that Iž island is the place you seek if you are looking for a tranquil oasis where nature still reigns supreme over all other aspects of modern life. The daily rhythm on Iž is considerably slower and much more relaxed than on Croatia`s mainland, making it a perfect target for a private boat trip with Zadar Archipelago tours, for those travellers looking for a  remote, authentic and unspoiled island. On this magnificent island you can also opt-in for some very unique activities: Enjoy the fantastic cuisine during your private boat trip to the Iž island In town, there are a couple of authentic bars and restaurants, but nothing too expensive or luxurious; instead, these are family-owned establishments that guarantee a hospitable service to all guests. Gastronomy-wise, Iž island can offer plenty from traditional sources of excellent Dalmatian cuisine; freshly-caught seafood and seasonal produce, combined with local wines and extra virgin olive oils. Most of the Iž island specialities are prepared in clay pots made by locals, which adds a subtle, but phenomenal texture to the flavour of the meal, enhancing the taste of seafood broths, grilled fish or steam-cooked vegetables. Learn about authentic Iž island pottery on your day trip Besides local cuisine, Iž island also has another interesting thing to share with the world; it is a place where Iski Lopiz is made - an authentic type of pottery, used for centuries as a means for storing wine, olive oil and other similar products. This kind of pottery can only be found on Iž, so it makes a perfect souvenir, alongside other hand-made products, such as lavender soaps, local oils and jewellery made
