Lovin ZADAR with Boutique Hostel Forum Then, today & tomorrow
About ZADAR Ancient and modern. Peaceful and adventurous. Classical and rock n roll. That s Zadar, a true Dalmatian present just like its name suggests. (Cro. za dar - for present). With a couple of millennia of existence, it has quite a fine collection of historical sights and legends paired with the modern vibe of 21st century attractions. Oh, yeah! Zadar has the whole package, and here are the highlights: 1. Hello to Zadar s streets and squares! Feel the pulse of the historical peninsula by walking along Kalelarga, sipping coffee on People's Square or Five Wells' Square and passing through the Land Gate and by the city walls (UNESCO World Heritage Site). 2. Treat for the senses: Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun Treat your eyesight and hearing to a unique experience with Zadar s most famous modern attractions. 3. Doing as the Romans/Croatians do: Roman Forum and St Donatus Church Don t miss the focal point of the city since forever - ancient Roman Forum and Zadar s landmark, St Donatus Church. 4. Straight to the top: Belltower and Captain s Tower Appreciate Zadar in all its glory and climb the belltower of St Anastasia s Cathedral and Captain s Tower for the best views of the city. 5. From history to illusions: Zadar s museums To learn about ancient life, pick up exciting souvenirs have extra fun, go to the Archaeological Museum, Museum of Ancient Glass and Museum of Illusions. DID YOU KNOW THAT Kalelarga is said to be older than the city itself? Zadar has the the most beautiful sunset in the world, not only because A. Hitchcock said so? A sphinx in Zadar, the largest in this part of Europe, grants love wishes? The quickest way to get from the peninsula to the mainland is by using barkajoli s rowing service (since the 14th century)?

When in ZADAR do as Zadrans do simple as that! Here s how: 1 2 3 Don t mistake coffee for a hot, black drink. It s so much more than that - it s an invitation to hang out for hours on end without a care in the world. Even if you have beer instead. Don t mistake the most important secondary thing in the world, football, for Zadar s favourite sport. Learn basketball lingo instead. After all, Zadrans say they invented this sport. Don t mistake taking it easy for idleness. It s called fjaka and it s a part of the art of living well. Join in and become an artist yourself! 4 5 Don t mistake a friendly banter on the street for shouting and potential fighting. Zadrans are passionate and loud, but harmless. Because life s good. Don t mistake picigin for just fooling around with a ball in water. Or showing-off in front of beach-goers. Try it and you ll see it ain t as easy as it seems. But it s fun!
FOOD Delicious. Healthy. That s Dalmatian cuisine. Make a very own wish-menu by choosing your favourites: Starters Pag island cheese because it s unique and irresistibly good Dalmatian pršut because there s nothing like a piece of meat dried by bora wind Cuttlefish risotto because yummy is the new black Seafood salad because Dalmatia is your oyster Main courses Grilled fish because that s how you love fish in Dalmatia Octopus or lamb peka because your taste buds will scream for more Shrimps a la buzara because you ll be on a red carpet of delicacy Pašticada because it s spotless beef - without a single taste to beef about Desserts Figs because it s Dalmatia s favourite fruit Fritule because the little doughnut-like balls are too sweet to resist Kroštule because this puff-pastry tastes like heaven Arancini because it s the perfect orange nibble
TOP BEACHES in Zadar region SEA, SAND & SUN [OR PEBBLES] And sunscreen, or you ll end up having a crabby time! 1Dip & go - Kolovare beach Wanna get some refreshment and you re off to see what else is there in Zadar? Head to pebbly Kolovare beach and mingle with the locals. 2 Sport & fun - Zaton beach you don't need 3 it. Looking for some action and (water) sports? Dive in the fabulous swimming pools in Zaton, widely famous also for its beach and activities available. To sum up, if they don't have it, Sand & mud - Queen s beach Endless sand, untouched nature, view of Velebit mountain and people having some (healing) muddy fun. That s what awaits people at Queen s beach near Nin. 4 Sandy paradise - Sakarun beach A deep sigh is what happens when the postcard-perfect bay with sandy beach and turquoise sea is seen for the first time. It s definitely worth the sail to Dugi Otok island. 5 Partaaay - Zrće beach If you wanna get the party started, Zrće beach on Pag island is your destination. All summer long. Enough said.
