Kali (Calle),the fishermen’s Village

Kali (Calle) is located on the island of Ugljan, facing the beautiful city of Zadar.Calle, the largest village on the island of Ugliano, is squeezed between two ports on the northeast and Lamjana bay on the southwest. Because of its preserved tradition of Dalmatian architecture, Calle has an aura of antiquity around it. The fishermen’s nets, visible at every corner, and the anchors beached on the coast are the witnesses of the still alive tradition of the "number one" fishermen’s place on the Adriatic. The tradition of fishermen has also influenced the gastronomic tradition. Therefore, Calle will offer you a huge tray of the best seafood delicacies, whether for dinner on the terrace by the sea or as an "aperitif" at one of the many summer festivals in the streets of the town. The "heart" of the town, the old town named Siget, Calle presents it on a small hill, from which you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding area. The beautiful Dalmatian houses and intertwined streets of the old town are the best possible example, which explains Croatia’s tourist slogan "The Mediterranean like in the old days". Calle enjoys the quiet life of the small fishing village because it has the bell tower of the Baroque church of St. Lawrence, the patron saint of the town, standing guard over it. The very distinctive local speech, resembling a loud argument, will echo most clearly in Braski dvor, the town square where Calle has been living its quiet street life for centuries.
