Kali is a small village, extending approximately 15 km. The distance from Zadar is app. 3 miles or a 30-min boat / ferry ride. It is situated on the southern part of Ugljan island. On the north, it borders with Preko village and on the south with Kukljica village. Kali was first mentioned in a document dating back to 1299 AD, however the archeological findings at Orjak hill prove that it has been inhabited since prehistory.

Kali fishermen, the most famous fishermen in the world, indeed have a claim to fame. Besides putting bread on their table (and sardines), the fishing craft simply runs in their blood. Since the 19th century, fishing gear can be spotted all over Kali. There isn’t a family in Kali that hasn’t bred a fisherman. Fishing in Kali started developing more intensely in the 19th century. As fish is scarce close to the shore, Kali fishermen had to sail out into Zadar channel and the open sea of the Adriatic to look for it. They specialized in tuna fishing using purse seine nets, and since mid-20th century, they have been using purse seine nets to catch small pelagic (blue) fish. Kali fishermen are also employed all around the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean.
