Caska & Ancient Cissa
Caska
A quiet bay near Novalja where the ancient Roman town of Cissa is said to have sunk, and where underwater ruins can be seen.
Caska Bay lies about 4 km east of Novalja. The bay is calm and its pebble beaches are clean, and it is much quieter than Zrće. This was the site of the ancient Roman town of Cissa. Legend says that after an earthquake in the 4th century, part of the town sank into the sea. Stone wall remains can be seen along the shore and in shallow water, and snorkelers can spot scattered ancient architectural pieces. On the bay there is an ancient Roman villa ruin and several seafood restaurants, making it suitable for a half-day of swimming and picnicking.
