You can also rent a boat in the harbor and go on this trip, however, you need a license for this.

When you are on vacation in this region, a visit to the Plitvice lakes national park is definitely worthwhile. From Zadar it is a 2 hour drive, but if you prefer to go a little closer? Then you could also pay a visit to national park Krka, this is about 1 hour drive from Zadar. In both parks you will encounter beautiful nature and you will see many waterfalls. Here you can explore the entire park on footpaths and enjoy nature. The Plitvice lakes national park is a lot bigger than the Krka national park, so if you have any doubts, we would recommend going to the Plitvice lakes!

Culinary Tour through Zadar

Zadar is a port city and is known for their various seafood dishes such as; grilled fish, risotto with seafood, fish stew, different types of shrimp and mussels. On the island of Pag, the best cheese in all of Croatia is made, the Paški sir (Pag cheese). This cheese is made from sheep’s milk, the sheep walk on the island of Pag. What makes the cheese so special is because of the wind, a cool, strong dry wind from the south carries salt. This salt remains on the island and mixes with the grass, among other things. This makes the island of Pag white and salty. Because the sheep graze here, they get this salt back and this gives the cheese a unique flavor.
