Town Zadar
.. is also called »little Croatian Rome«, beacause of the large number of churches and its vicinity, but also because of the Roman remains such as Zadar Forum, here we find now the church of St. Donat. When we were on our holidays on Island Pag we planed also a visit to town Zadar, which is from Novalja approximate 50 kilometers far away.
How to reach Zadar Croatia
We knew that Zadar is by itself very interesting town, also because of his history. But anyway we wanted see the town and his coastal villages and other places around town Zadar. We load our bikes on car and went to Zadar. The contection of island Pag with mainland is possible with a Ferry from Žiglen (Pag) to Prizna (mainland) . The second possibility, which is also shorter and faster lead us over the picturesque bridge, which conetst the island with the mainland. From the bridge we can enjoy a nice view on the stone side of the island hills and dark – blue surface of the sea. When here blowing strong winds they close down the bridge.
Sourroundings of Zadar
As starting point of our bike trip we choose a very known touristic town Zaton. The bike trip leads us near the coast and changes from walking path to the macadam paths. If we dont want to cycle on the macadam path we can turn back on the asphalt road, which is one kilometer in inside, now we can cycle to the settlement Diklo straight ahaid to Zadar.
Bicycling through the Zadar
.. Bicycling through the old part of Zadar is at the time of the biggest touristic season impossible. But in month of September is town nice and vibrant and not so full of tourists, and bicycling through the streets and near the coastline is also very enjoyable and interesting. The main street in the town is also the most vibrant part of the town.
Listening Sea organs and greating to the sun
..In last years, the municipal put the sea organs on the cape of the old town. Now people can sit down near the sea and they are listening waves of the sea through the sea – organs. The most joy of those sea – organs have the children, they are lying on the floor by the holes, from where they can listening the sound of murmuring sea. Another freshness of promenade lie next to the Sea Organ. The "Greeting to the Sun" circle with diameter of 22 m and made form three hundred multi-layer glass panels. When the sunset comes, the lighting elements built into the circle are activated blinking to the rhythm of the waves and the sound of the Sea Organ.
From here we can take a walk by the sea or we can turn in to narrow streets of the town and enjoy interesting things that town Zadar has to offer. Town Zadar is very worth of visitation and examination.
