Veli Iž, Settlement in Zadar County, Croatia.
Located on the northern coast of Luka Bay, Veli Iz extends along the shore with stone houses overlooking the Adriatic Sea between Ugljan and Dugi Otok islands.
The settlement developed from an ancient fishing community, maintaining its maritime character through generations of families who sustained traditional fishing practices.
The settlement holds the King's Election festival on July 29th, featuring the Iska Festival where residents wear traditional costumes and perform regional dances.
Regular ferry services connect the settlement to Zadar, while the local marina provides 45 berths for vessels exploring the surrounding waters.
The settlement houses the only remaining pottery workshop on the Dalmatian coast, producing traditional Iški Lopizi ceramic pieces and maintaining an old oil mill.
