About Zadar
A Roman-era port city on the northern Dalmatian coast, Zadar is far less crowded than Dubrovnik but equally historic - a Roman forum occupies its centre and the sea organ installed along the waterfront is one of the world's more unusual artworks. The Kornati islands and Krka waterfalls are accessible on day trips from Zadar Airport (ZAD).
