Zadar – or the good is so close

You don't want to fly far, but would like a combination of city, beach and nature on holiday? Then we recommend Zadar. The charming city on the north coast of Dalmatia is more relaxed than the famous Dubrovnik and enchants with unique experiences: On the waterfront promenade, listen to the melodic sound of the sea organ while the evening sun bathes the sea in golden light. Culinary delights will surprise you in the traditional konobas with local Adriatic delicacies such as brodet or fresh oysters. Stroll through the romantic streets of the old town and feel like you are in an open-air museum, where medieval churches and Roman ruins create a very special atmosphere.

Zadar is also an excellent base for a tour of Croatia or island hopping. The beautiful islands of the Kvarner Bay such as Lošinj, Rab and Cres are easily accessible by ferry or bus. Local beaches such as Borik or Kolovare also invite you to relax. Whether it's a city trip, relaxing on the beach or an adventure trip - your unforgettable holiday in Croatia starts with a swift flight to Zadar.
