If you do not like crowded places, then that is an island for you.

It is the place where you can connect with nature and people surrounding you. In Robinson house you do not have television or internet connection. Pašman is a place where the time has stopped 10 years ago, but in a good way. That is the reason why I return to Pašman, on the same destination for 4 years in the row now.

To get on the island you have two options – by ferry from Biograd or Zadar. Both shipping takes around 20min but it is worth every moment of it. The feeling of dark blue sea, the wind in your hair and smell of sea salt is just outstanding.

It is quite difficult to get to your final destination of Robinson house-but that is the beauty of it. The roads are in terrible shape and some destinations you can reach only with the owner of the house by boat. He also delivers you things from the shop. Just in case you are wondering what that means- we were driving 4km for around 30min on a macadam road, where two cars cannot meet- so drive really slow. But the view on the road is breath-taking; you can see most of Kornati National Park islands.

So, you are the only one as far as it goes. What to do now?

Pašman have unique seabed, you can find all kinds of shells, halibuts, sea stars, however; be cautious some are illegal to take from the sea. What is more, do not forget to take with you diving mask and flippers!

The most amazing experience for me on Pašman is when the local fisherman takes us fishing. I am amazed by the genuine friendliness of the people since they take you as a part of their family.

Furthermore, at noon we went on the boat and cast approximately 3 km of net. Later on, we waited for a few hours that fishes got trapped in the net.

During that time we were making shrimps for lunch. Fisherman also brought us vegetable. We always get something from their garden; onion, tomato or potato. The time passed by and it was time to return to the boat and pull back the fishing nets. It was an overwhelming feeling to watch him pull up the net and seeing the catch. I had always admired halibuts and on Pašman I saw it for the first time. Fisherman gave me one of the fishes and said to me, throw it back into the sea and wish for something. I am still waiting for my wish to come true; nevertheless, it was a nice gesture.One day he took us to another fishing trip, at midnight. We went with a little boat and went to pull up another net. We caught fishes that live in the low seabed and they come out from their hiding place around midnight. I must say that wore the ugliest fishes I had ever seen. They wore like snakes, black and with very evil faces. However, if you grill them, they are extremely tasteful.

Almost each bay has one little boat to rent for around 25€ per day. So go explore the coast by boat, and when you see a beautiful spot just stop and enjoy the moment!  To sum it up, Pašman is the place where I can find peace and run away from the technologically obsessed world. If you would also like to find peace and harmony without technology, go visit Pašman’s Robinson tourism.
