SAILING AROUND<\/span><\/h3>\n

Although known mostly as a family holiday and a beach destination, Rab has intriguing history and legends. Island was mapped first by ancient Greek seafarers and cartographers all the way back in 4th century BC. Seafaring Greek by the name of Skilaks noted the cluster of islands Pag and Rab by a single name “Mentorides”. That account was found in his written material “Periplus”, which literally means “sailing around”. Older artefacts, like an ancient hook for fishing, knives and stone axes found on island Rab, point to a more ancient history. Artefacts like these can be found in the Archaeological Museum of Zadar among many other found in North Dalmatian region.<\/p>\n
