Sveti Vid is the highest peak on the island of Pag and is located directly above Pag Bay. On the summit are a geodesic column and the remains of the ancient St. Vitus Chapel, after which the peak was named. Pag is considered the barrenest island in the Adriatic, as 86% of its surface area is devoid of vegetation. The spacious island rock gardens are crisscrossed by a network of picturesque dry-stone walls, once important for livestock farming and as soil protection against the Bura wind. The view from the summit opens up in all directions, but is most strikingly drawn to the Pag Salt Pan, Velebit, Metajna, and the numerous islands.

The hike to this peak is only recommended when it's not too hot, as most of the way there is on an unprotected stone path.
