As the island’s largest town and port, Sali is a positive metropolis when compared with the rest of the towns and villages scattered around Dugi Otok. Named after the salt works that once employed villagers, the town has a rumpled, lived-in look. Its little harbour is a working fishing port, and it’s busy with small passenger boats and yachts that dock here during summer on their way to and from Telašćica Bay and the Kornati Islands. Although the town is tantalisingly close to these natural wonders, you’ll need to join a tour or rent your own boat to visit them.
Saljske Užance Festival CULTURAL
The weekend before the Assumption (15 August), Saljske Užance Festival draws visitors from the entire region with donkey races and a candlelight procession of boats around the harbour. Men and women don traditional costumes, play instruments devised from cow horns and perform traditional village dances.
