Meet one of the most desirable regions for life in Croatia
One of the most significant advantages of Zadar County is its geographical position. It’s in the middle of the Adriatic coast, halfway between the major cities of Split and Rijeka. Also, the county is very well connected to the rest of Croatia and Europe.
Zadar County consists of 6 cities and 28 districts. The towns of Zadar, Nin, and Biograd na moru are situated on the coast, and the town of Pag is on the island of Pag. Obrovac (a towny with the mesmerizing river Zrmanja) and Benkovac (known for its famous Benkovac fair that occurs every month, on the 10th) are situated in the Zadar hinterland.
Zadar’s hinterland, especially Ravni Kotari, are known for the ecological production of wine, olive oil, and honey. Also, there you will find numerous historical sightings such as the remains of the Liburnian city Asseria but also diverse cycling routes.
Furthermore, around 160 thousand people live in the Zadar region and more than 70 thousand of them inhabit the region’s central city, Zadar.
The city of Zadar is a vibrant hub with a history that goes back over 3,000 years. Its strategic location makes it an ideal base for exploring the Dalmatian coast, with easy access to natural wonders and cultural landmarks. The city is just a short drive from several national and nature parks, some of which are part of the Zadar region.
Telašćica Nature Park is situated on the Dugi otok island, one of the most beautiful islands in the Zadar archipelago. Dugi otok is known for its mesmerizing and pure nature, dolphins but also olives and olive oil. Zadar region is protected by the Velebit mountain. There you will find Velebit Nature Park and Paklenica National Park – known for its exquisite pine forests, the best preserved in all of Dalmatia.
Another nature’s wonder in Zadar region is the Zrmanja River Canyon where Winnetou movies were filmed.
So, there is the sea, a river but also – a lake. Vrana lake is the largest natural lake in Croatia and a nature park where you can enjoy birdwatching, walking or cycling.
Sail through the indented Zadar archipelago
The county offers a diverse landscape that includes around 300 islands, islets, and cliffs. Most islands in the Zadar archipelago aren’t inhabited which means you get to visit them via your own or rented boat (there is no ferry for these islands). That way you can enjoy the pristine beaches and stunning nature peacefully. This might particularly be interesting for the sailors amongst you.
There are around 17 inhabited islands in the Zadar archipelago that are worthy of your attention. Let’s start with the smallest inhabited island on the Adriatic, the island of Ošljak.
Ošljak is situated next to the island of Ugljan which is the nearest island to Zadar (20 minutes ferry ride). There are no stores or cafes on the island, just pure nature and 2 kilometers long promenade by the sea. There is, however, an exquisite restaurant called Lazaret.
Silba is another gorgeous island in the Zadar archipelago known for its breathtaking beaches and relaxing environment. This is mostly because there is no traffic (no cars) on the island. Even though is very sought after, Silba remains a beacon of a true and serene Dalmatian summer vacation.
Furthermore, the island of Vir (around half an hour’s drive from Zadar) and the island of Pag (one hour’s drive from Zadar) can be reached by car, via bridge.
The Island of Pag is known as “the moon-like island” due to its very specific stone scenery. When in Pag, don’t miss out on the famous Pag lamb and worldly renowned Pag cheese.
These are just some of the many wonderful islands in the Zadar archipelago. You can also check out the island Rivanj (great for watersports), Vrgada island (a small island near Pakoštane, great for camping), and Pašman (a good choice for active vacation and tasty food).
