Stara Novalja is a village in the cove of the same name in the north-eastern part of the island of Pag, 5 kilometers north of Novalja in Croatia. The economy is based on farming, viniculture, fishing and tourism.

Contents

The cove of Stara Novalja is the submerged part of the "Pasko-Dinjiska" valley. The safest dock for larger ships is located south of the cove called "Drljanda", where the depth reaches 27–38 meters. Smaller ships and yachts drawing up to 3.5 meters are docked along the external part of the jointed pier in front of the village.

Stara Novalja is located on the M29 road. In its vicinity are remains of antique walls, a late antique necropolis, and ruins of the pre-Romanesque church of the Holy Cross.

Since the ferry harbor was relocated to Žigljen (except in some extraordinary weather conditions), Stara Novalja has become a quiet place that offers accommodation facilities in private homes, as well as lodging and boarding services. As such it is preferred by families. The major event is the feast day of Saints Peter and Paul on 29 June.

Beaches

The biggest beach in Stara Novalja is the sand beach, "Trincel". There are also many smaller beaches and jetties in front of the houses on the coastline.

Climate

The climate in the village is mild and Mediterranean. Springs are lush and green, summers are dry and warm, falls pleasant and winters mild with the cold northeast bora winds sometimes blowing. Daily summer temperatures can reach 30 degrees and nights are pleasantly fresher. Summer sea temperatures reach 25 degrees, while the bathing season starts in May.

Kalo Chorio is a village in the municipality of Agios Nikolaos, Lasithi, Crete, Greece. Kalo Chorio village has a population of around 900, nestled in the midst of a verdant hilly landscape, where olive groves, abundant and colorful mediterranean shrubs and plants reach all the way down to the sea. Over the past years, naturally with tourism, part of the village has grown nearer to the beach. Istro has many archaeological points of interest. The new village of Istro sits on the site of the ancient town of Istron, remains of which are still being uncovered to date. Because of this, the land closest to the sea has a conservation order and no new building may take place, which leaves the beaches uncrowded and unspoiled. The beaches of Istro Bay are regularly awarded a Blue flag for cleanliness. Kalo Chorio has a village atmosphere away from the sprawling concrete covered resorts usually found in Crete, making it popular amongst tourists who wish to enjoy Crete as it once was.
