Directions

Since Ćokovac Monastery is located on the island of Pašman, in the Zadar Archipelago, it can be only reached by the sea. There are two options:

From Biograd

using the car ferry line Biograd–Tkon. From Tkon you can take a 30 minute-walk to the monastery which is already visible from the port.

If coming by car, follow the main island road going northwest. After reaching the Palms Resort (a couple of minutes' drive) there is a sign pointing left that reads “Benediktinski samostan Ćokovac”.
From Zadar

From Zadar (via the island of Ugljan): using the car ferry line from Zadar (Gaženica)–Preko or the passenger ship from Zadar–Preko.

If coming by car, take the main island road going southeast, following the sign “Tkon”. After reaching the village of Ugrinić (30 minute drive), there is a sign pointing right that reads “Benediktinski samostan Ćokovac”.
