In addition to its rich history, Zadar is also famous for its stunning natural beauty, with several beaches and parks to enjoy. Visitors can relax on the sandy beaches, stroll along the picturesque harbour, or explore the nearby nature parks. Make sure you don’t miss out the Sea Organ, a unique musical instrument that uses the power of the sea to create beautiful and haunting melodies.
