Tkon is an old fishing town on the picturesque southern part of Pasman Island, a port and a ferryboat quay (ferry between Biograd and Tkon), which can be approached over small sand beaches continuing into rocky coves all the way to the end of the island. On the other side of the island, which is uninhabited, Robinson-type tourism is very popular.
From the surrounding hills a spectacular view of the nearby islands and the Kornati archipelago stretches before your eyes.
The island economy is based on agriculture, wine-growing, olive-growing, fishing and tourism. It is situated on the regions road; ferryboat communication with the town of Biograd. The small port is shielded from all types of winds and waves; smaller yachts can be anchored next to the breakwater.
The parish church of St. Thomas was built in 1742. On the main altar there is a painting of the Mother of God whose authorship is attributed to Zadar painter Petar Jordanic who lived at the end of the 15th century.
On the Cokovac hill lies the only active Benedictine convent in Croatia, the convent of Sv. Kuzma and Damjan dating back to the 12th century, which is a popular destination for the lovers of historical and spiritual heritage. There is a large self-service shop, a small market, a post office, a medical clinic, a stationary store, a news stand and the offer of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and meat is excellent.
Several coffee shops and restaurants, one of which has a big terrace near the sea and live music, complete the tourist offer of this island town.
Undisturbed peace and immediate contact with nature represent the good points of Tkon in contrast to bigger tourist centers. This small town is a guarantee of rest and ship communication with the town of Biograd provides diverse entertainment possibilities.
