Zadar
The old town here is surrounded by sea on three sides and rivals Dubrovnik for charm. Much of the town's rich history is still evident - do visit the Roman Forum and the 9th century Byzantine church. The Riva sea promenade provides views out to the islands of Ugljan and Pasman and is a great place to enjoy wonderful sunsets. Its also the place to experience the sounds of Zadar's unique Sea Organ!
Plitvice Lakes National Park
Without doubt this is one of Croatia's most beautiful national parks. Granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 1979 it is the country's most popular tourist attraction. Sixteen crystalline blue lakes are all interconnected by a series of waterfalls - the largest (Veliki Slap) is 70m high. Deep forest, river gorges, blue waters and above all the waterfalls all combine to make this a must see destination.
Nin
A lovely old town set on an islet in a shallow lagoon. The beaches here are famous and total almost 8km in length. Queen's Beach is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Ugljan
This is closest island, at 20km long it runs parallel to the coast opposite Zadar. Its covered in pine forest and olive groves, there are 8 charming towns to visit including Preko which offers great views of the surrounding islands. A regular passenger ferry service runs from Zadar to Preko. Car ferries operate from Port Gaženica.
