Fabulous location
If you want to explore the region of Northern Dalmatia, Zadar is the perfect place to stay. It's a lovely city around an hour from some of Croatia's most well-known national and natural parks, ancient cities, and extensive islands. Zadar is breathtakingly beautiful and near to Nin, Pag, Ibenik, Split, Plitvice Lakes, Krka National Park, Paklenica National Park, and Kornati National Park. It has a highly rich past, with pre-Romanesque architecture, one-of-a-kind contemporary monuments, and an ancient town on a peninsula. This city is a good starting place for seeing the unspoilt beauty of Croatia's extensive parks or going on a slalom ride between small Kornati islets.
Zadar, Croatia may not be for everyone, but if you want to explore gorgeous Croatia without the crowds, this is the right place for you. An experience you won't find in any other city in Croatia. Zadar isn't exactly the type of sight you'd put on a postcard, but the experience you'll have is one you'll remember forever. Today, Zadar is a historical hub of Dalmatia, as well as the main political, cultural, economic, industrial, educational, and transportation center for Zadar County. Zadar is also the episcopal see of the Zadar Archdiocese. Because of its rich tradition, Zadar is now one of the most popular Croatian tourist attractions, having been dubbed "the Adriatic's entertainment center" by The Times and "Croatia's new capital of cool" by The Guardian. In 2017, UNESCO included the fortified city of Zadar to the list of World Heritage Sites as part of Venetian Works of Defence between the 15th and 17th centuries: Stato da Terra - western Stato da Mar.
