There is more to Zadar than its old town and coastline. Just beyond the city, small islands, quiet lagoons, clear beaches and untouched nature wait across the Adriatic, only a short boat ride away.
There is something special about seeing Zadar from the water. The coastline looks completely different once you leave the marina, and the islands around Zadar suddenly feel much closer and more accessible.
