Zadar, a 3000 years old town situated in the heart of the Adriatic, is perhaps best described by The Guardian as ''the new capital of cool''.
Surrounded by historical ramparts, Zadar is a treasury of the archaeological and monumental riches (Church of St. Donat - one of the most recognisable in Croatia, Five Well Square) and many contemporary architectural achievements such as the first sea organs in the world (a musical instrument played by the sea itself).
Zadar is the urban center of northern Dalmatia. Each year it hosts many festivals (music, dance, film, sport) such as Wings for life – World run and KalelargART Street Art Festival.
The Zadar archipelago that counts 300 bigger and smaller islets, 3 nature parks (Telašćica, Velebit i Vransko jezero) and 5 national parks (Paklenica, Plitvice lakes, Kornati islands, Krka i Sjeverni Velebit) classify the town of Zadar and its surroundings at the very top of the Croatian tourist offer.
Famous Alfred Hitchcock, on the occasion of his visit to Zadar in 1964, said that Zadar has the most beautiful sunset in the world. Simultaneously with the most beautiful sunset the lighting elements of the new monument called ''Greetings to the Sun'', turn on and produce a marvelous show of light in the rhythm of the waves and the sounds of the Sea.
Zadar is an easily reached destination by land, sea and air where accommodation can be found in the apartments, holiday houses, villas, campsites or hotels.
