Hello all,
I have just booked a week in Zadar in late september.
Was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on day trips? I have already been to Split and Dubrovnik so im not too worried about seeing them again, but are there any other towns and places nearby worth seeing?
I will almost certainly seeing both krka waterfalls and visiting the islands.
Many thanks
And what about Plitvicka Jezera National Park?
BTW at 133 kms.
I agree Plitvicka Jezera is a must (1 day trip) - Also Murter is a lovely island town, with big emphasis on sailing and the sea approx. half way between Zadar and Split.
One word of warning about Zadar - they have virtually no taxis! If you are staying away from the old town, and go in there at night, be prepared to walk all the way home. Also the boatman who ferries people across the harbour finishes earlier outside the main holiday season - I think around 9pm. So bring your walking shoes!!!

Many thanks for the replies. From the looks of things the plitvice lakes look like a very good tip! definetly will be trying it.
I am going to have a look into going to murter also.
The Cathedral was dedicated to sv. Stošija(St. Anastasia). This triple-nave edifice was built in the 12th and 13th century, on the site of an Early-Christian basilica. On the facade there are two circular aperture or "rose", in a Gothic manner, inserted into the pediment of the central nave at later period.
I really don't know if this is a local custum or not, or a custom among the tourists, the only things I do know, are: There were lirerally hundreds of people watching the sunset amd it was absolutely amazing!
Without really looking for it - we found it when looking a place to eat and learned about it later (but note - there's only a little of information on it). What you can see today is just the foundation of this small church from pre-Romanic time with an interesting shape built somehwere 10th or 11th century. As it was destroyed already in 16th century, its ruins were covered and then as the archeologic research advanced, it had been finally conserved and protecetd in 1966.
One may find it in graphic contrast with residental block building behind the ruin... but in general, this little remains of church are taking rest in quiet surroundings, hardly even noticed with its rather modest form, almost hidden in the grounds.
Its finding is cherished by those whose have deep interest with archeology and curious historians.
Kopnena vrata, the Land Gate, from Renaissance period was built in the 16th century as a part of the city fortifications. It was one of the entrances to the town, mainly for the farmers from the surroundings of the town who brought agricultural products to the nearby green market.
ZADAR RIVIERA & ISLANDS.
Croatia has more than 1100 islands & some of them can be reached from Zadar by ferry, ship or hydrfoil. On this map you can see only some of the big ones. This summer I visited Olib (behind Ist island, you can't see it on this map) and Dugi otok ('Long island' - see the map). That's why I've put a lot of photos about these places. Enjoy!
