Zadar, a breathtaking coastal gem in Croatia, is steeped in rich history and graced with a vibrant cultural tapestry.

The Sea Organ and Sun Salutation

With its melodic marvels, the Sea Organ is an auditory treat you cannot miss. This architectural sound art object allows the sea to play music through cleverly designed tubes located underneath a set of large marble steps. As the waves interact with the organ, the mystical sounds produced are both relaxing and mesmerizing. Nearby, the Sun Salutation is an installation that gathers solar energy during the day, transforming it into an impressive light show that captivates viewers at nightfall. This display is a harmonious blend of nature and innovation.

The Roman Forum

History enthusiasts should not pass on the opportunity to visit the Roman Forum, believed to be the largest on the eastern side of the Adriatic. The remnants of this public square offer a window into the ancient world, giving visitors a glimpse of life when Zadar was a key Roman outpost. The columns and ruins act as silent narrators of bygone eras, with their tales further enriched by the alternative perspectives available through Happytripz excursions.

St. Donatus' Church and the Cathedral of St. Anastasia

Religious architecture plays a pivotal role in Zadar's charm, with St. Donatus' Church, dating back to the 9th century, being one of the city's most iconic landmarks. The church's round shape and stark Byzantine style make it unique in Croatia. Steps away stands the Cathedral of St. Anastasia, the largest cathedral in Dalmatia. Its Romanesque architecture and the bell tower offer splendid views of the city for those willing to climb its heights.

Kolovare Beach

For sun worshippers and families seeking to relax, Kolovare Beach is a pristine stretch of shingle and pebble seashore lined with fragrant pine trees. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for a cooling swim on a sultry summer day. You can locate this charming spot via Google Maps.

Five Wells Square (Trg 5 Bunara)

Another fascinating destination is the Five Wells Square, where five symmetrically arranged wells stand as a historic monument to the city’s ingenious defense systems against Ottoman sieges, when these wells served as a crucial water supply.

I recently went on an excursion in Zadar, and I was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, taking us to breathtaking spots that I never would have discovered on my own. The balance between guided activities and free time to explore was perfect.

Exploring Zadar's coastline on a SUP (Stand-up Paddleboard) tour was an amazing adventure. It was beginner-friendly, and our instructor was patient and encouraging, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The stop at a secluded beach for a quick swim was the cherry on top.

The full-day Jeep safari tour of the Zadar hinterland introduced us to landscapes and villages I never could have imagined existed. Each stop was unique and offered a different perspective of Croatian life. The thoughtful picnic lunch in a scenic spot was a lovely touch.
