Privlaka is an idyllic tourist and fishing village in the Zadar riviera. Situated on a peninsula between Nin and the island of Vir, near the historical city of Zadar, it is lapped by the sea on three sides. The air is full of the scents of aromatic herbs and the medicinal black mud offers a cure for health problems such as asthma and arthritis. The beautiful sandy beaches, secret coves, warm shallow sea are a paradise for family holidays.

But that's not all you need to know about why you should come to this place. It is famous for its valuable citizens - the Sabunjar (stone workers). They were very famous for engaging in the painstaking work of taking out stones from the sea and building the white city of Zadar. Many wells, of which the most celebrated is Sokolar, are scattered throughout the town and the archaeological findings testify to the early life in this region.

Zadar is an ancient Mediterranean port city. The old town, surrounded by walls and towers on a peninsula, with a new, urban part is connected by a bridge, a symbol of the city.

Built on Roman urban principles, where there are several major longitudinal streets traversed by a greater number of latitudinal streets, give the city a rectangular shape. The old town is a treasure trove of archaeological treasures and monuments to the ancient, medieval and Renaissance periods. This is visible by a number of sacral and architectural monuments – the church of sv. Donat [St. Donatus] where every summer the sounds of Zadar's musical evenings echo, the Roman Forum near the main square, Kalelarga - the longest and widest street, the Cathedral of sv. Stošije [St. Anastasia], an Archaeological Museum with its exceptional treasures and many other monuments of cultural and historical heritage (town gate, Arsenal, churches, museums...).

In a city with the most beautiful sunset, in a maritime archipelago facing a multitude of islands and islets, which protect the city from the strong winds, enjoy the symphony of the Sea Organ and magical urban light installation Pozdrav suncu [Greeting the Sun] near the new harbour for cruise ships.

Zadar is a powerful cultural and economic city whose life is comfortable all year round, but shows all its splendour in the summer. Visit the traditional events or contemporary events like the full moon nights, Zadar dreams, Millennium jump, Kalelarga art... Enjoy the Mediterranean cuisine, taste the sweet Maraschino cherry liqueur, and take a swim from one of the sandy beaches in the Zadar area!
