Took the bus from Split for a 3 ½ hr journey to Zadar, but due to bus mechanical failures, our trip took 5 hrs. Zadar is a 3000 year old city with strong roots to the Romans and Venetians. Once again Old Town was our resting place, as it allows us to see all the amazing sights plus easy access to some amazing eating establishments - seafood galore! Old Town is encircled by islands, coves, beaches and bays.
We started touring in an “Eco Tuk Tuk” and got to see the largest Spinx in Croatia(interesting love story).
Walked the largest Roman Forum on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea, climbed the Byzantine style St. Donatus Church bell tower and touched “the Pillar of Shame.” In the evening, we went to see the Sun Salutation and Sea Organ light show and listen to a tad of music from the Sea Organ.
On a lovely boat trip, we walked the smallest island and least inhabited island of Croatia, swam in the Sea, were offered fruit and Prosecco on board. We ended our Zadar leg of the trip with a ride to the airport by the local professional basketball coach from Russia (ha). Put this place on your must list.
