Zadar
Tips, highlights and helpful context for your planning.
The Croatian port city of Zadar is located about 75 kilometers from Zrce Beach and the town of Novalja. Most vacationers from Zrce Beach are likely familiar with Zadar due to the international airport. For those arriving by plane and planning a vacation on the island of Pag, Zadar Airport is the preferred option.
The city of Zadar also has a lot to offer. With over 75,000 inhabitants and a beautiful location on the Adriatic, Zadar is one of the largest cities in the region. The beauty of Zadar's past, with various historical buildings and monuments, combined with all the amenities that modern travelers appreciate, offers you a range of tourist attractions.
In addition to the historical city walls and city center, which are part of the cultural heritage, Zadar also offers modern highlights, such as the world's first sea organ. If you are planning a longer stay in Novalja and need a change from the after-beach party at Zrce Beach, we recommend visiting the port of Zadar to try freshly caught fish specialties or other Croatian delicacies.
