From Zadar to the Adriatic Sea by motorboat
The more southern area of Croatia is called Dalmatia and here you will find the wonderful destination of Zadar. Zadar is a harbour town in the northernmost part of the Dalmatia region. Until the end of the 18th century, Zadar was a fortified town with a large harbour and four magnificent gates. The old town of Zadar is located on a peninsula that cuts out into the sea, separated from the newer parts of the town. A visit to the city is very worthwhile, as it is like a visit to an open-air museum. You can stroll through the small streets next to many old buildings whose history goes back up to 3000 years and take in the hustle and bustle of the city. Small cafés and local restaurants add to the holiday atmosphere of the city. With numerous excursion destinations nearby, it is worth renting a motorboat in Zadar and approaching them from the water.

Opposite Zadar is the island of Ugljan. Together they form one of the most beautiful parts of Croatia. Compared to the rest of the Croatian islands, it is relatively densely populated. Especially in the north-east of the island, there are several smaller towns, one after the other. Ugljan offers a good mix of Mediterranean nature, historical cultural heritage and traditional and modern entertainment. Many locals have their holiday domicile here. As the side facing the mainland is the most densely populated, the rest of the island can benefit from untouched nature. So why not rent a boat in Zadar and explore the island?

Detour to Biograd na Moru
Biograd na Moru lies a little further south in the Dalmatian region. During the 11th century, the town was considered the headquarters and coronation site of the Croatian kings. The town centre with the former town walls is situated on a peninsula in the Adriatic Sea. Today, however, the city walls are not so well preserved and are quite dilapidated. Today the city is a centre for tourism and yachtsmen. It is surrounded by great marinas and a picturesque waterfront. Both offer a wonderful view of the Pasman Channel and small islands. In front of the town in the Adriatic Sea are the Kornati Islands and not far away is the Kornati National Park.
