A postcard view of Zadar
Zadar is on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, across the Adriatic Sea from Italy. It has a mild Mediterranean climate, lots of sunshine, and an abundance of fresh, delicious seafood. You can hop on a ferry and visit many of the islands in the Zadar Archipelago – perfect for a hike, a visit to a secluded beach, or snorkeling. The old town Zadar is a half-island/peninsula, with many beautiful churches and ancient Roman ruins.
There is an airport (Zracna Luka Zadar) just outside of the city , and from spring to fall a good deal can usually be found on Ryanair or Germanwings (from within Europe).
