Curious Tales from List's Shores
List holds the distinction of being Croatia's northernmost island settlement, positioned at the very tip of Pag Island where two seas symbolically meet. The surrounding waters were once home to a thriving salt production industry that dates back to Roman times, with salt pans still visible near the village. Local legend claims the distinctive taste of Pag cheese comes from the Bora wind, which carries sea salt onto the island's vegetation, creating the unique diet for the sheep. The village's name derives from the Croatian word 'lišće' (leaves), referring to the forest that once covered this now windswept landscape.
