The city of Zadar is less than an hour away. A historic city, it is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Croatia, boasting a rich history dating back to ancient times. A unique blend of old-world charm and modern attractions, it is worth visiting. One of the city’s most famous modern and iconic attractions is the Sea Organ. Built into the city’s waterfront promenade, it makes the most mesmerising sounds through the movement of the sea’s waves and wind. No visit to Zadar would be complete without experiencing it. Another installation on the waterfront is the Sun Salutation. A large circle of solar panels that collects energy from the sun all day and creates a stunning light display at night to go with the Sea Organ’s haunting sounds. Old town Zadar is a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets, ancient squares and historic buildings. A stroll through this area gives you a glimpse of the city’s rich past and allows you to explore architectural wonders such as the Roman Forum, St. Donatus Church and the Cathedral of St. Anastasia.
