Dalmatia - Zadar Region Travel Forum

Hi,

We land in Zadar about 20.30 on a Saturday night in August. The following day we will get the ferry to Dugi Otok but we'd like to see something of the mainland while we have the opportunity.

Do you think we should stay in Zadar that night, or is there somewhere else within reasonable driving distance that is more interesting?

Thanks
Amber

We spent our first night in Zadar, I highly agree with the first answer. We stayed at a great sobe called Pensione Maria and ate dinner at a fabulous restaurant called Kornat, right on the water. It was our first and one of our favorite nights. Don't miss the sea organ either and the old town is great!

Zadar is really a nice town. You can find some cheap accomodation inside Old City, but there are many "soba" available around too. Just go inside a travel agent and they can guide you to some available soba. Nice restaurants and nice people, for sure it is worth to stay.

Thank you for your help and suggestions! Can you also tell me what time restaurants close on a Saturday night in Zadar.

Thanks
Amber

You should be fine as long as you go straight out to eat once arriving to town. Old town is quite small so should not be a problem. Since you are arriving late you may want to arrange accommodation in advance.
The Roman ruins were very cool (Medusa's head or something like that).
