Kali (Croatian pronunciation: [kâːli]) is a municipality in Croatia on Ugljan island in Zadar County. In the 2011 census, there were 1,638 inhabitants, 99.39% of whom were Croats.[1]
Name[]
The settlement's name is likely derived from cale, a Celtic word for port.[2]
Attractions[]
Kali is a fishing town[3] with a Mediterranean feeling. The old central part of the town was founded on a hillock around St. Lovre's (St. Lawrence) Church, the patron saint of the town. The famed fishermen's festival takes place under the saint's auspices every year in August.
