Olib, Island settlement in Zadar County, Croatia
Located in the northern Dalmatia region, Olib spans 26 square kilometers with sandy beaches along its western coastline and Mediterranean vegetation throughout the terrain.
Romans established the first documented settlement on Olib in the 10th century, when historical records referred to it as Aloep Island.
The Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary contains a collection of 17th-century Glagolitic manuscripts that reflect the island's religious heritage.
Transportation on the island excludes cars, with residents and visitors using golf carts to navigate between the main settlement and various beaches.
The island maintains its water supply through an undersea pipeline from the mainland and residential rainwater collection systems in private cisterns.
