The Terror on the Island of Pag
A few months earlier, the island of Pag served as a terror hotspot. Not literally, but the television series The Terror was filmed at numerous sites on Pag. Ridley Scott was an executive producer. It tells the story of the crews of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, two British ships that embarked on a voyage to the Arctic to force the Northwest Passage but never returned. It was loosely based on true events. The Island of Pag, with its lunar landscape and pristine nature, proved an ideal setting for the story.

Game Of Thrones Filming Locations and Dubrovnik
However, HBO's Game of Thrones is by far the best-known show filmed in Dalmatia. Filming locations of Game of Thrones included Split, Diocletian's Palace, Trogir, Trsteno Arboretum, Klis Fortress, and the city walls of Dubrovnik. Visit King's Landing, Fort Lovrijenac, and have a seat on the Iron Throne replica.
It is possible to take guided tours to these locations or explore the areas on your own. The filming has enhanced tourism and promoted the history and beauty of these locations in Dalmatia.
Speaking of Dubrovnik, we also need to mention another recent project shot there: Star Wars: The Last Jedi. This stunning old Croatian town served as the film's backdrop.
